![]() My closest guess is that I've heard it on the soundtrack to a David Firth cartoon (the Salad Fingers guy), and looking at their soundtracks I can believe it was something by Boards of Canada or Aphex Twin.Īnyway, all this rambling and head-scratching may be relevant to me making some sort of point here regarding Mr. The sound I'm referring to is that reversed tail from the piano that starts to appear around 1:10, and is particularly evocative from 1:20-1:28 as the detuning starts to take effect. I felt like I'd be able to provide better feedback if I could dredge up that connection from the recesses of my memory, but after hours of searching, I'm coming up empty. There's a certain sound in there that I recognise, but can't for the life of me remember where I've heard it before. Well, I've been mulling this one over for 3 days. ![]() I guess this is the most similar to the Conker mix I did, which makes sense looking back, as I started both of them around the same time.but this one ended up being finished a couple of years later. I thought this was more interesting than adding rain and wind recordings to the background while a more traditional piano piece played, which I did toy with as a coda (similar to the 2nd half my Dire, Dire Docks ReMix), but scrapped. It's meta, but that's the gist of it: to have the arrangement technique itself represent the environmental context of the original song, with the melody repeatedly appearing and dissolving like the rain itself (or perhaps thoughts?). I wanted to use these tiny slivers to act as the raindrops in a storm, while other noises act as other stormy elements. Others are shorter still, only 1-2 ms, and only sound like tics. Many grains are only a few dozen milliseconds long, just long enough for your brain to figure out the tone. While the exact costs of all types are unknown, the assumption can easily made that the scrap tire walls will be cheaper.More "manual" granular synthesis lots of micro-editing of different piano clips playing the original tune (some at normal pitch and others an octave down). Scrap tire earth retaining structures appear to be economically competitive and no harder to construct than conventional walls. Mechanically stabilized earth and gravity walls can be an effective use of large quantities of scrap tires. They also provide habitat for insects such as mosquitoes. Regulated stockpiles and illegal dumps pose major environmental and safety problems, such as combustibility and possible toxins in the leachate. With the increasing number of scrap tires in the US and Canada, the problem of scrap tire disposal will only grow. The techniques and methodologies described in this course document are evolving rapidly. This course is based on the publication, “Use of Whole Tires in Earth Retaining Structures” by the Texas DOT, US DOT, FHWA and The Center for Multidisciplinary Research in Transportation at Texas Tech University. The design charts have been developed for varying wall heights and batter, as well as for various loading conditions. Included are example designs of retaining walls that utilize the following types of products as the basic structural unit: (a) individual tires filled with gravel or low strength flowable fill, (b) bales of compressed tires, (c) compressed tire bales encapsulated in reinforced concrete. ![]() ![]() This course outlines three uses of scrap tires as earth retaining structures. Most of the exported tires go to undeveloped countries for further use on vehicles and eventually into stockpiles. The US EPA estimates that 9 million scrap tires are exported annually from the US. US scrap tire stockpiles are estimated to be about 700 to 800 million tires, with 17 US states having individual stockpiles with at least 1 million scrap tires. According to the Rubber Tire Manufacturer Association, US annual tire production is about 270 million and Canadian annual tire production is about 25 million. This combined with limited uses of scrap tires and limited methods of disposal results in stockpiling of scrap tires. While scrap tires represent only about 2 percent of the total solid waste stream in industrialized countries, tires decompose slowly. Moreover, waste tires present a number of environmental, health and safety hazards to the public and represent a serious public nuisance. Huge stockpiles of waste tires represent an enormous depot of lost energy, materials, and money. Throughout the United States and Canada, millions of waste tires are generated each year. ![]()
