Sound Experiments 7 (2020)

 

More sound and light twiddling crumbs.

Orbital Drum???

 I just watched an old episode of "Nasa's Unexplained Files".  There was a story about an astronaut orbiting Earth solo in his space capsule.  Out of a relative calm, the astronaut heard loud banging on his vehicle!  The striking of the capsule's metallic surface from some unknown source went on for a small amount of time and severely frightened the astronaut who called out for a reply to whatever was responsible for this racket.  Seems pretty incredible but the astronaut was convinced that he had some manner of lifeform shadowing his mission and as a consequence, messing with his head, Big Time!  Eventually, the outer hull racket abated and no answers were to be had of who this potential intruder was, but, HOW CREEPY!!!! Was the space capsule being used as an Experimental Musical Instrument?  An Orbital Drum, if you will?  We can only speculate....

Here is a VideoGPT AI retelling of the situation in its own analysis!  Enjoy.  

The Electrician vs Planet of the Vampires / Scott Walker vs Gino Marinuzzi

OK.  I was looking for any YouTube clips that might feature the soundtrack music of the influential science fiction/horror picture, "Planet of the Vampires" (1965, directed by Mario Bava).  The movie boasts an interesting use of electronic music elements composed by Gino Marinuzzi.  I discovered this colorful item which also provides some information on "Planet's" unique contribution to movie lore.
