SHODAN LIVES
Notes and links from @colemanm.

The composer talks about working with Aronofsky, scoring Moon, and a little about his ideas for Aronofsky’s next picture, Black Swan:

“Well it’s all really embryonic at the moment, one of the main ideas we’ve got is building the entire score out of elements from Swan Lake. I mean it would have to be vastly screwed with, but that’s a starting point. Sometimes we’ve had ideas in the past and you put them into practice and they just suck, so we’ll see.”

I’m so happy that there are artists still pushing boundaries with creative ideas like this.

ckck:

In honor of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, this site is staging a “re-enactment” (or what to call it) of the events in real time (seemingly), only 40 years later and utilizing 2009 web technology. Both Houston Control and Apollo 11 have their own Twitters (!), for example. Not a whole lot going on at the moment, but it’s still T-minus 63 hours until “launch”.

This is either really cool or really cheesy (probably both), but I’ll certainly be watching. I’ll give them a standing ovation of they have the balls to do this in real time too, what with this 15 millisecond attention-span world we now inhabit.
