Do you remember what the Astronauts sounded like during the Apollo program? What? Not old enough to have seen it or too old to remember? Well then, have a listen to this. I thought I would try to duplicate that classic sound. Its all about the Quindar tones. I added some pink noise, white noise and brown noise to some bandpass filtered and compressed audio along with the tones.

Thailand

Mr X — Tue, 06 Apr 2004 05:14:07 +0000

Documents two trips to Thailand in the late 1980′s. Scuba diving excursion and visit to the Bridge on the River Kwai. The raw footage stayed packed up in boxes for 14 years. After I built my new computer in March 2004, which included a video capture card and the Adobe suite of video editing software, I dug out all my old footage and started editing. This is the first completed project.
