Weblog Updates / Research

Cause Research – newly added Featured Research section featuring Dr. John C. Lilly.

You may also want to take a look at these two pages from his offical site: Dolphin Communication | Cetacean Nation (not mac friendly)

Information will be added to our research materials soon. Within the pages of his site, you will also find an interesting article about dolphins speaking in “stereo”.

Reference Works – finally with photographs, videos, links, and more.

Please take note of the information on Dr. Nigel Llwyd William Helyer. He is the sonic artist we met at the MMRL.

Foley Recording Session 2

May 27, 2008

Hey Guys!

As mentioned in the previous post, I was going to do personal recording session over last weekend. The session went pretty successful as I managed to record more sounds than what i had planned. 

These are sounds I have recorded

1. Ventilation Fan 

2. Ceiling fan 

3. Fridge 

4. Dropping of meat onto floor

5. Meat drop into a sink

6. Meat slapping each other

7.Stabbing into meat 

8. Sharpening of Blades

Unfortunately, I cannot upload the audio clips now as the files are too huge to be uploaded. I will pass to you guys this wednesday. 

Documentation of the foley recording sessions is still in process.

Cheers

Updates from City Music and Lee Foundation

May 27, 2008

Hi Guys

I have called up Lee Foundation and CIty Music this morning and managed to get some updates from them.

Lee Foundation replied that they have received our mail and still processing as there are still many applications to be handled before us. 

City Music does not have any 5.1 Surround Sound System in their store. However they do recommend us to try Challenger or Sim Lim Square.

It seems that both updates are not so positive till now. Any suggestions ?

Weblog Updates

May 27, 2008

A quick update about the weblog:

Over at The Project, I’ve added two new pages, Script and Midpoint Slides.

You’ve probably heard from somewhere that knowledge is power. I’d like to add that knowledge that is organised so that you can find them is power -

Quick links have been added to our Research pages on, Dolphin Vocalisation and Drive Hunting. At the Drive Hunting page, a More Videos section has been added. They are all the videos that we’ve come across on YouTube.

Documentation will be on par with our findings … slowly, but surely.

That’s all.
