How important is sound editing to a movie? Quite a bit, actually. More important than most people are willing to consider. In this one-minute clip above, editor Kogonada, illustrates the importance of sound through the films of director Darren Aronofsky beginning with Pi and ending with Black Swan</em. Kogonada was also responsible for: Breaking Bad POV's , Wes Anderson - From Above , Quentin Tarantino - From Below . Oddly, three awesome pop culture viral videos that I never posted for one reason or another. [via theawesomer ]
The Black Swans are wasting no time, releasing a second album in as many years on Misra Records . Titled Occasion For Song , it comes out July 16 and "deals with the death of founding member and violinist Noel Sayre. Noel died tragically in a swimming accident in Portsmouth, Ohio - July of 20083 The first song being streamed, "Portsmouth Ohio", chronicles the day of Noel's death.

Is it a secret track, complete in itself? Is it a preview of something a bit more overarching, like another compilation, or full-length album due? Or is it an even bigger announcement, say, a live performance at Unsound? We're speculating wildly, here, but clicking through Black Swan's home page will certainly turn up a little something that wasn't there yesterday. All we'll say is what he's already said: Patience is key . It's a roughly five-minute track in all, and at about the 3:50 mark you'll hear very brief, subtle hints of the [...]

Black Swan is back in the news: a one-track collaboration with Dennis Huddleston's alias 36. It's lush, ringing, and over far too soon. Both artists are referring to this as a one-off, but let's hope they reconsider. Stream below.

The anonymous talent behind the Black Swan alias has uploaded a cruelly short preview of the track "A Lesson In Slow Flight." Black Swan aficionado Ben Barrett submitted the title during an online contest. While the artist claims that analog mixdown of the new material is underway and that the results are "blissfully droning," the two-minute clip remains close to its now-familiar unorthodoxy. There is nothing like this project anywhere and - despite its #4 slot in our top albums of 2011 - The Quiet Divide was the [...]

This year's list of favorites is fairly sedate (even for me), with just a little ruckus here and there. Lots of morning-coffee music, which I guess says something about my 2011. But music's strength is its pliability. It can be whatever you need it to be at the moment, especially when we have instant access to virtually any song ever recorded, often for free . Judging by this list, I needed music to be a salve more than a release valve this year. I also never expected my favorite album to come from someone who held the [...]
Words by Jacob Barron To my knowledge, no artist has risen to the challenge I issued in last year's edition of Soundtracking: Your Thanksgiving to create music endemic to this most gluttonous of holidays. There's apparently now a best Thanksgiving movie, at least according to this person , but still no Thanksgiving album. And so we gather again this year, to give thanks, to catch up with family members, to politely ignore their occasionally racist remarks, and to check out the surprisingly numerous albums suited to any and all of these [...]

The Needle Drop
The Needle DropAETERNA (2012) by Black Swan To those of you who prefer their ambient music as dark and eerie as possible, allow me to direct your attention to the experimental drone project Black Swan. I've heard plenty of artists toy with "dark ambient" music with underwhelming results, mostly at the hand of a weak atmosphere and/or uninteresting sounds, but Black Swan sidesteps these issues by creating soundscapes that are engaging. With thick and airy drones, lo-fi field recordings, and appearances from a chillingly solemn choir at its disposal, the music's atmosphere is anything but weak. It's the [...]

earmilk.comTo review albums like Black Swan 's third effort, Aeterna , which started shipping on April 4, always is an amazingly balanced mixture of pleasure and pain. And I'll explain this in a bit, but first let me get some things out of the way here: this is Black Swan's third album in three years of practically unknown activity - their facebook page, which is more than a couple of months old already has... 221 likes. Sure, we're talking about drone music, where popularity isn't exactly the "thing" to be worried about, but even considering that fact, they're still [...]
