ANAMNESIA is a short science fiction film directed by STRANGELOOP (AKA David Wexler) and produced by the Teaching Machine art collective.

My friend Gavin Gamboa, a long time member of Teaching Machine, contributed to the musical score of the film, and also designed and built an intricate net narrative: ANAMNESIA.NET/work. I provided musical atmospheres for the net narrative. I loved working with Teaching Machine on this project and I’m excited about the work we’ll do together in the future.  The ANAMNESIA Soundtrack features 6 original score pieces and 9 atmospheric pieces, and is available now on the Teaching Machine Bandcamp.

I wanted a practice futuristic sound design project, so I cut a clip from the Azureus Rising Proof of Concept video by Black Sun Entertainment, and created original sound effects and score to their video clip.

Special thanks to Post Sound Lab and Devin Schiro.

Humanity+ (formerly the World Transhumanist Association) is an international organization which advocates the ethical use of emerging technologies to enhance human capacities.

They featured this little blurb about my recent sound design for the Anamnesia net narrative experience.

Taylor Shechet is a musician and sound designer living in Los Angeles. His recent work includes sound design for the ANAMNESIA Network, a net narrative experience created by the Teaching Machine art collective, to supplement the science fiction short film ANAMNESIA. Taylor believes that the artistic process is as important as the end result, and chooses source sounds and audio manipulation processes that he feels are relevant to the intent of the work. The sound design for the ANAMNESIA Network includes heavily manipulated samples of the magnetic fields of celestial bodies, pulsations at 7.83hz (The Schumann Resonance) and the use of psychoacoustic effects like the Shephard Tone.

Behind the Scenes: Ming & Ping – The Darkness of Night

By redweltall on Mar 02, 2013 in Uncategorized - 0 Comments

Ming & Ping gave me a spicy shout out in the behind-the-scenes story about their album:
“The Darkness of Night”.

“Only “Last Night’s Lights” did not change much from its original version, although the original verses had a different rhythm. For this track, we needed some very significant atmospheric sounds, so we asked our our friend, sound designer Taylor Shechet to create a sound bed for us that sounded like “the empty space where a massive robot has stepped.” We used Taylor’s sound sculpture all over the track, but you can hear it most in the break at the middle of the song. To match the atmosphere of the music, we added a preverb effect on both our vocals at some parts.”

“Bottom line, once you push “play,” your mind will have a hard time grasping what you should be thinking or feeling, and you may even find yourself exclaiming, “What the F did I just listen to.”

[NAB081] [tlr] – Homunculus (2012)

By redweltall on Dec 28, 2012 in Album - 0 Comments

homunculus

An 18 minute homage to the textured techno-decadence of digital artifacts, HOMUNCULUS is a tour de force through a mind deeply haunted by the ghost in the machine. The album is titled after the concept of a miniature, fully formed human body in the studies of alchemy because of its experimental nature.

The full album is available for free download from Naboa Music at:
