Introductions?

If you look around the arkive I bet you could a couple of good movies that you could pick up for not too much money that could give you lots of synch options. You should probably pick up the matrix and dark city (around $10 each) if for nothing else than the sheer coolness of the movies themselves. If you pick up one movie for some good pink floyd synching it should be 2001: a space odyssey. There are two incredible synchs for the end; one with the song Echoes from Meddle and one with the title track of Atom Heart Mother.

P.s. I have actually been thinking of trying something with the thin red line, becasue it so visually arresting, but im not sure what.

Hi, I'm Ave (pronounced like "Abe," but with a v). I am a huge Pink Floyd fan, so I would consider it blasphemy to have not tried "Dark Side of the Rainbow." I have also done The Wall and Alice in Wonderland. Others would be tried, but the movies I own are limited, or at least in the ones that would logically be synched (and our VCR stopped working, making us rely on a DVD player, for which we do not have the older movies). I have one idea of a synchronicity, but my account doesn't want me to post new topics. Maybe I glossed over some important qualification.

The most annoying thing is that, of the movies I can use to try a synch at this time, none of them are on the site. As I am apt to make lists, I thought I would give a list of my movies, in case others might have ideas for albums that would go with them (the list is long and possibly pointless. I'm sorry for this, but it is something I do. Skip it if you wish):

I actually am tempted to list my CDs, too, but I will leave them out as I have over 400 albums. Usually if somebody posts an album for a synch I can find it (especially if it's Pink Floyd or related to them).

All the bad things in life only help you appreciate the good even more.

Greetings all. It is I, Looney Runes...lover horror films, moonlight, martinis and things most bizarre. I first heard of DsotR in the late 90s (I was doing a lot of chemicals back then, so I can be more specific) at a laser Pink Floyd show in Houston. The next synch I heard about was from a co-worker. This one combined the Smashing Pumpkins “mellon Collie” CD and “Fantasia”. Again, I was blown away. I watched those two synchs many times over the following years, and insisted on showing them to anyone who would watch.

Not until early last year did I discover the Synchronicity Arkive and begin trying more recipes. Leighton's “yoshimi battles the terminator two” really brought it home to me that there were synchs out there that were not only fantastic, but actually consisted of films / music that really appealed to me. I have since devoted countless hours exploring synch possibilities, utilizing my own CD / DVD collection. Although the failure rate of synch attempts is probably 99%, I would not call any of them wastes of time. Attempting synchs almost always reveals aspects of the films and music involved that I never noticed.

Some artists would say that it is the process of creating that is important, and not the final product. This seems escpecially true in synching. Many of my own synch discoveries have happened in a frenzied state of excessive drug use and very much altered states of perception, though I have recently sought out other healthier methods of drawing out the creative side of my brain.

I have also recently begun experimenting with video production software and striving to break away from the restrictive nature of straight play-through synchs, with varying success.

I am also very grateful to Arkiver for providing this oulet for creativity and discussion. You do an amazing job maintaining this space for us all. If I can ever be of help in some way, please let me know.

Hi Everybody,

Welcome to the big party here at the Synchronicity Arkive. I joined the merry band here at the very start of 2002. I think Baker B considers me to be part of the end of the second wave of synchers to arrive. I am strangley drawn to matching music to movies. How many times have you listened to a song on the radio and had some imagry play out in your head because of the music. I think it is interesting to try and get something to harmonize. I have seen quite a number of good synchs here and am glad to see a rating system initaited here on the synch data base. I am one of the regulars here and am probably the only paying member of the Arkive besides Arkiver himself.

I was just wondering how many synchs I have seen. Say I have been doing it for 7 years solid, once every weekend. Then I have probably watched over 300 synchs so far. UNbelieveable! The current database has not quite so many. Watching a good synch for the first time is like opening up a present. Thank you all for coming up with so many good ideas (and I kick you in the ass for the bad ideas. But thats a different story).

The Synchronicity Arkive has come a long way. I cannot thank Arkiver enough. He is the center of music movie synchronity on this planet. He should be depicted as Atlas with the weight of the world on his shoulders.

I wish you all some Happy Hunting,
Karl Tune
