I was born in \u201879 so my childhood was in the 80s. I don\u2019t have to search for a long time to know why I dug and wanted to make sounds and noises and sound design. The 80s are the sound design decade, the golden age as we like to say when we\u2019re getting old and saw some shit.<\/p>\n

Dude, sound design was fresh and new and everywhere from this:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

AKA the sound design Bible.<\/p>\n

To this:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anime and its unique, particular sound design, so inventive and fascinating.<\/p>\n

To this:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How many 80s action movie with fantastic sound design? Too many. Maybe I should have used Robocop or Terminator or Aliens or Raiders of the Lost Ark or Top Gun. And let\u2019s not forget comedy like Airplane! or Police Academy, I mean a character is literally making sound effects to make you laugh. What about Gremlins or Ghostbusters or Pee Wee\u2019s Big Adventure. E.T. It\u2019s crazy.<\/p>\n

To this:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That Speed Demon song is obviously using sound effects but even the music is very \u201csound effect\u201d based, percussive and playful with short sounds, from the crazy DX7 slap bass line to the beat or vocal harmonies. And that part<\/a>, loved it so much as a kid. Cars by Gary Numan with its weird FX synth sounds. Funkytown by Lips Inc with cars honking. Here Comes The Rain Again by The Eurythmics with its rain-sounding arpeggiator\u2019d intro. How many albums or songs with intros and sound design, I don\u2019t know, tons since Pink Floyd\u2019s Money. Back to MJ with Thriller, how could I forget this one?<\/p>\n

And of course:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cVideo\u201d games. And their brand new computer sounds.<\/p>\n

Sound effects were that new thing all across entertainment. <\/p>\n

To me it\u2019s almost weird that people who grew up at the same time are not into sound design more. It\u2019s so offensive when for most people design means graphic design when design is design. You design sound or visuals or places or interiors or games or clothes.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if there\u2019s a reason to love and remember that decade, it\u2019s definitely for its unquestionable love for SOUND.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
