Mac has a default start up sound on every computer they've ever made. In order to get this sound to go away or replace it you have to manually open up the computer and reprogram the cpu, or so I'm told. My brother [IN?P] thinks this is a bitch. I think it's unethically genius. Both beautiful and wrong on various levels.
Playstation comercial's are interesting because you always know it's Playstation shortly before the comercial starts because you have a noise that you're conditioned to respond to and associate with playstation [and anything else you associate with playstation]. Recently they're swapped the order of things and put the noise at the end of the comercial rather than the begining, I'm not entirely sure why, but I never gave it much thought. I do, find myself looking up at the T.V. whenever I hear it now only to miss what they were trying to show me in their comercial.
Lots of advertisement takes full advantage of this. But so do I in my personal life. Most of the time it's something that "naturally" happened [where natural means it wasn't guided or completely controlled] and I notice it, then decide to take advantage of. Current project is with music that reminds me of a timeframe in my life [while listening to it, it improves my memory of that time as well. Things are much more clear]. But the best example is me observing what happened and taking control of it is a game that makes me extremely happy anytime I play it.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released in the states in 1998.
I was 14 back then, and listened to videogame music mostly and there was a CD burner in my house [which made me massive amounts of money considering most people didn't have them back then]. Napster hadn't been shut down yet [or revived with the option of paying for things]. I'm assuming it really wasn't a problem, yet, since CD burners were so rare. So I went on Napster and made a mixed CD of songs I liked, mostly videogame music.
Of the various CD's I made one was all the music from Legend of Zelda OoT. But I had NEVER played the games.
Between 1998 and 2002 I had listened to this CD usually during times when I was somewhere having fun or on my way to such a place. A lot of times I was on the bus coming home from a track and field meet [Most fun times of my life back then] or Football, Soccer, Tennis, etc.. Pretty much a lot of happy memories were associated with this music, and yet I never played the game.
2002 I get the game and play it. But I didn't know that the music on my CD was from the game since when I downloaded it I wasn't told where it was from exactly. But when I get to certain area's of the game I'm flooded with 4 years worth of emotion that's related to the song playing in the background.
Currently the project is based off different Cities I've lived in and making soundtracks with the music that dominated while I lived in those area's. The one's not even finished and it brings everything back very clearly and makes me feel as if I'm there again.
