"FORBIDDEN PLANET" SOUNDTRACK CREATION EXPLAINED



This is a very cool little demo video by Ben Burtt on how some of the movie soundtrack for the science fiction classic, "Forbidden Planet" was produced.  Burtt manipulates analog tape machines and fiddles around with tape speeds, feedback, and looping to produce some of the sounds Louis and Bebe Barron originally created for the movie.  The sounds of outer space and an alien landscape generated right from the sound lab.  Wonderful!
