Pitchify: Spotifykrenten uit de pap

Curated content wint steeds meer aan waarde op het web en Pitchify is daarvan een erg mooi voorbeeld. De beste muziek volgens de schrijvers van Pitchfork en Drowned in Sound, met directe links naar aanbod in Spotify. Hiervan ga ik zeker gebruik maken.

Pitchify compiles the highest-rated music on Pitchfork and Drowned In Sound into a curated front-end for Spotify. It’s a (plural) marriage made in heaven, for those whose taste tends to align with the reviews on those sites.

Pitchify works by scouring those sites for albums that received an 8/10 or higher from those blogs on a daily basis, then generating direct links to the albums within Spotify.

Filmgeluidenmaker Gary Hecker

The Art of Making Movie Sounds op Open Culture bracht me in aanraking met filmgeluidenmaker Gary Hecker. Zijn prestaties hoorde ik vast eerder, maar nu wordt een kijkje achter de schermen getoond.

From “The Empire Strikes Back” to “Robin Hood”, award-winning Foley artist Gary Hecker of Todd-AO says it takes “timing and a huge creative mind” to be the man behind the sound. Here, he shares tips and tricks he’s learned during a career that has spanned more than 200 films.

Hecker also recently joined CSS Studios’ Todd-AO in late 2009. One of the most accomplished Foley artists in Hollywood. Among his recent credits are 2012, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, Angel & Demons, Watchmen and the Spiderman trilogy.
