So Eric Garner is someone who died from police brutality in July 2014. Unlike the brown case, this one was captured on video. It showed how he wasn't being violent, but then the police arrested him and put him in a choke hold while tackling him and attempting to hand cuff him. While on the ground, he claimed that he could not breathe. He repeated it over and over. He died on scene and there were no medical treatments done to him on scene to try to help him breath again or to do anything to help him out.

These are just facts. I have yet to make an official opinion beyond the first reaction opinion.
But it happened in July and I have not heard about it until just today.
It makes me saddened though. This dude didn't deserve to die, he didn't actually break any laws.
What's up with that?
Idk
[prepares for potential debate]

You guys are walking on thin ice above a can of worms, tread carefully

[FLAOFEI]

ok so ive been thinking about a winter related project but i cant make my mind up on something so ill ask you guys

if you where to turn snow into a sound what would you pick for a sound?

If it's just the snow laying on the ground your talking about, then pretty much no reverb on any thing, except maybe on verrrrrry very high frequencies. Since snow doesn't reflect sound. Then some wind noises, whisteling in the trees, but not so it sounds like leavs rustling, since they have no leavs in winter.

All in all, lots of silence, and no reverb.
And fartsounds layerd over footsteps :I Cause that is the sound footsteps make on snow

A buttload of cute tinkling bells.

i should of said this before but its dark ambient so bells wont fit in too well

Omg offended
Seriously though, why ban bells from Dark Ambient? I can imagine some really cool things with that :P

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

Add cutsie bells to every song in december to mess with everyone. Or you could just private all your soundcloud uploads on christmas day and reupload christmas carols with your song titles instead, that'd be neat.

So like looks like I'm out of commission for racing as one of my team mates rolled the car and fucked the roof, and broke the windscreen... such is life though, the seasons over for this year anyway, and we've got until April to fix it

[Ricky Denzel]

I don't know what you just said, nor understand

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

Someone had an accident in the car Abby's team uses to race, now the roof and windsheild are caved in. Oh well, shit happens, there's plenty of time to fix it.

C'mon dude there was barely any Australian slur in that.

[Coloriot]

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger taught me so much about Australia. ;-;

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

yous guys arnt tryin hardanoughta do reaaally bad ozzy slurin

The accuracy of this actually fooled me into thinking a local bogan was actually in the room with me, good job.

Seriously though even I find the way people talk here weird, I actually get asked if I'm actually from here because my accent is all muddled because I watched too much tv growing up.

Has anyone read the book 1984?
It's about a dystopian society where the government controls everything.

My entire senior class is playing a game where we follow the strict rules of the dystopian society. There are secret police that nobody knows who it is that report people for breaking rules.

It's going to be an interesting 2 days.

as far as i know there shouldnt be any percussion of that kind in DARK ambient

if this was regular ambient i wouldnt hesitate to use bells

[eery]

I dont understand why you couldnt use bells in dark ambient. I mean bells are creepy as fuck. Think like old churchbells. Spooky

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

If upbeat carols in a shopping mall can somehow be depressing (it feels so forced) then bells can go in dark ambient. Also it's not called 'no-percussion ambient', don't fixate on the genre so much and just do whatever feels appropriate.

[ph00tbag]

I mean, Tubular Bells is literally a song about bells, and it's used in the intro to The Exorcist. Really, with any sound, it's more the keys and cadences that determine whether a sound is dark.

It's kinda required reading for just about every high school curriculum, being the most ubiquitous example of the dystopia genre. Personally, though, I think Brave New World was a richer story.

[DJ TATCM]

wow someone actually agrees with me abt brave new world

idk i just thought it was more likely for the world dystopia population or whatever to steer themselves into the rather bleak future rather than oppressive tyranny simply taking hold; even now our humans are becoming increasingly hedonistic, at i daresay a faster rate than the levels of oppression, though as a first world constituent what the hell do i know

[Bronies Are Cool]

1984 is one of the most challenged books in the school board.
Apparently parents and random people don't think that young adults should be reading it because it's too much for people my age.
Weird

Wow... You know... I expected social experiments like that to be banned after some teacher was close to accidently turning his school into some sort of neo nazi cult while doing one of those experiments :I

Also, I liked that book. It didn't waste to much space on booring stuff like describing the specific hue of green every leaf on a tree has, like alot of books do.

So for US History we have to write a children's book on our Civil War.

...lovely I know.

But we have to cover an event called Bleeding Kansas. Here's how my version goes.

The North and the South come across a can of sauce. Both discover it at the same time. So they decide to share, because why not. But then the North accuses the South of taking too much sauce, and so they fight and go at each other, but before it turns into a fistfight, the can of sauce breaks.

To which somebody screams, "It's bleeding!"

So now we have a bleeding can of sauce.
Bleeding Kansas.
Bleeding Can of Sauce.

...yup.
