The sound of dreams in movies...? I'm intrigued. I know you're probably sick as hell of the subject (considering you've probably been studying this/getting pertinent information together on it for quite some time) but can you elaborate a little? Do you mean the way dream states are portrayed musically/or otherwise in terms of sounds in movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Congrats Squee! Finishing a master's thesis takes a lot of effort, and there's nothing like the feeling of pride you get when you look at your finished and bound copy, all those footnotes/endnotes and appendices that you painstakingly spent weekends fixing up. Well done, seriously. Have a drink or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th555 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Have you been researching the sound of dreams in other movies, or inventing ways to aurally represent dreams yourself? Or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpyLoo Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Squee, what were the sorta 5 most common production tricks you found were used for dream music? I'm curious how frequently stereo tremolo and other panning tricks got used... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psn Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Congrats, and cheers! I think the impressionist vocabulary has been adopted by film score writers to a great degree, and that particularly the whole tone scale played on a harp is often used for dream sequences?

Squee Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 My thesis is about the sound of dreams in movies... so hopefully in a month or so I should receive my papers saying that I'm not officially an Audio Designer. Do you mean the way dream states are portrayed musically Yup, more or less :) It's all about the soundscapes, music, and so on. All I remember from films I've seen is voices with a lot of delay/reverb. You just summed up a big part of my paper :) Have you been researching the sound of dreams in other movies, or inventing ways to aurally represent dreams yourself? Or both? I looked at Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway and had a look at how the dream sequences were portrayed auditorily. I also had a quick look at a soundtrack that I did for an art video. And then finally I made my own generative system that was based on the things I had realised throughout my thesis. Such as, dreams, according to Freud, are random memories or traumas that have made a big impact on us. So since dreams most often are just random memories I thought making a generative music system would work great as a "Dream Music System". Instead of importing sound files you import "memories" and then it creates randomly generated ambient pieces out of that. And thanks guys! :) Appreciate the kind words!
