Jpeg Mafia

Thug Tears by Jpeg Mafia has many different elements integrated into it. Along with sounds that are added to the song he also added short vocals from other individuals. Something that I found interesting is that he changes the ways that he is delivering his lines. One second he seems to be softly singing, then he switches to a more aggressive tone almost as if hes screaming.

Another song that I chose was Beige by Pistol Annies. She delivers this song with a slow soft tone. There is a real emphasis on the instruments that are used. Another thing that I noticed that they did with this song is they inserted her singing behind herself almost as a back up singer.

The last song that I picked was Yo Se by La Goony Chonga. I picked this song because it has a very different sound than the other two songs that I had chosen. In this song they use a lot of what seems to be computer made sounds. On top of the computer made sound they add a really heavy bass. I feel as if they emphasis the sounds that they put into the song more than the vocals because she sounds very monotone the whole time and never changes her pitch.

The Hurt Locker Sound

The Hurt Locker by Kathryn Bigelow is a very well put together and beautifully scored film. From the music score to the precise diegetic sound and audio effects everything in this film gives the viewer an experience as if they were in the battlefield with the characters. One of the first scenes in the film really caught my attention was when they see the man with the phone while their partner was going to defuse the bomb. Their partner begins running away as they are running to the man with the cellphone he detonates the bomb. They use sound to very vividly paint the picture to everything that is going on and show how serious the situation is. The first thing that we hear is the initial explosion of the bomb realizing the size of the blast. This plays a crucial role in the scene for the viewer to realize what has happened. Than to the little but very vivid sounds of the ground breaking and rocks flying into the air. But what I think is really important that they added was the sound

The Beatles Revolver & The Beach Boys Pet Sounds

The song that really stood out to me from Revolver was Yellow Submarine. Yellow Submarine has very distinct sounds that are added to the song that do not take away from it but only add effect. While recording this song for the record you can tell that there were special effects added to emphasize what is going on in the song. The Beatles engineer George Martin used a numerous amount of objects in the making of this to name off a few, a tin bath filled with water, wind, a ships bell. I think that to add all of those special effects on top of vocals and instruments was ahead of their time. Wouldnt It Be Nice by The Beach Boys was the songs that caught me because it is one of the songs that I grew up listening to with my father. I like how you can distinctly hear every instrument that is being played throughout the song without it being overwhelming. The thing that I found interesting about the production of this song is that Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys took over Phil Spector's
