![]() Knowing that there are people out there who appreciate what I do, enough to send a little money my way every time I finish a project, has such a huge impact that I am struggling to find the words to thank you. You have kept me going through some of the toughest months of my life, in pursuit of my artistic dreams. Hey there, wonderful humans :) You made this, the largest artistic endeavor I've ever completed, possible. One more thing - I'd like to address my patrons directly. Everyone is encouraged to come join the party!ĮDIT: The watch party happened, it was great, you can check it out here: Afterward we'll probably hang out and chat for a bit, and answer any questions.

In addition though, I hope This Will Destroy You is meaningful for everyone, regardless of how much you know about Line Rider, and whether or not you're interested in understanding the details of how it was made.Īlso, there's going to be a Synchronized Livestream Public Release Watch Party in these two places: It aims to legitimize the medium as an artistic tool and inspire others to create new works of art with Line Rider. 0:01 / 0:16 This Will Destroy You - 30,000 line special rabidjunk 289 subscribers Subscribe 152 16K views 5 years ago ITS OUT: This Will Destroy. In July 2017, a Line Rider track synchronised to the entire album was released on YouTube by Bevibel Harvey, who spent 272 hours over 18 months creating it. ![]() I'm very proud of this work, and I think it serves as a thesis of sorts on the untapped artistic potential of unscened trackmaking in Line Rider. I started this project nearly 18 months ago, with the idea to creating an album-length track with arcs and motifs over longer periods of time, using a relatively simple and accessible trackmaking style, instead of trying to pack as much intensity as possible into a 1-3 minute video. I don't think I've fully settled into that reality just yet. I've just completed a Line Rider feature film, with a runtime of over 50 minutes, set to an entire album of music.

![]() Some physical books are made with pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical objects, like a scrapbook or photograph album. In a physical book, the pages can be left blank or can feature an abstract set of lines to support entries, such as in an account book, appointment book, autograph book, notebook, diary or sketchbook. Books can consist only of drawings, engravings or photographs, crossword puzzles or cut-out dolls. The intellectual content in a physical book need not be a composition, nor even be called a book. In an unrestricted sense, a book is the compositional whole of which such sections, whether called books or chapters or parts, are parts. ![]() Each part of Aristotle's Physics is called a book. In a restricted sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or part of a longer composition, a usage reflecting that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls and each scroll had to be identified by the book it contained. A single sheet in a codex is a leaf and each side of a leaf is a page.Īs an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a considerable investment of time to compose and still considered as an investment of time to read. In the history of hand-held physical supports for extended written compositions or records, the codex replaces its predecessor, the scroll. The technical term for this physical arrangement is codex (plural, codices). It can also be a handwritten or printed work of fiction or nonfiction, usually on sheets of paper fastened or bound together within covers. The Gutenberg Bible, one of the first books to be printed using the printing press LiteratureĪ book is a medium for recording information in the form of writing or images, typically composed of many pages (made of papyrus, parchment, vellum, or paper) bound together and protected by a cover. For other uses, see Book (disambiguation). ![]() Instantly, Frodo’s likability takes a debilitating and almost unrecoverable hit. Image: New Line ProductionsĪs big a departure as this is from Tolkien’s book - and it is, in case non-book-readers haven’t caught on - the real pitfall of this scene is how very little of it makes any dramatic sense. The go-to method, apparently, is to inject otherwise frictionless storylines with character conflict - like, say, our hero banishing his best friend thousands of miles from home over misunderstandings about bread, choosing to remain alone with a loathsome creature very obviously up to no good - and hope that playing up the momentary, visceral sensations will compensate for any gaps in narrative or emotional logic. Author/video essayist Lindsay Ellis once amusingly coined the phrase “Forced Peej Conflict”, which describes a specific kind of plot contrivance Peter Jackson frequently relies on when adapting aspects of Tolkien’s work that (theoretically, at least) won’t translate smoothly on-screen. Cue the fraught confrontation, Sam’s ineffectual defense, and Frodo’s two harsh words that broke all our hearts: “Go home.”īut a cursory look at this scene unearths the strands fraying just below the surface. And poor Samwise, well-meaning to a fault, bumbles right into Gollum’s trap by offering to bear Frodo’s burdensome Ring himself. Gollum’s treachery compels him to chuck the last of their precious Lembas bread and frame Sam for the crime. The possessive and consuming nature of the Ring has almost completely overtaken Frodo, leaving him susceptible to manipulation and whispered suspicions. The entire affair between Frodo, Sam, and Gollum on the Stairs of Cirith Ungol seems straightforward at first glance. Again and again, bold swings of blockbuster filmmaking crash against Jackson’s B-movie storytelling quirks. The parting of Sam and Frodo, where the bond between our two lovable leads shatters due to irreconcilable differences (assisted by a third-wheeling Gollum), best represents the singular dichotomy at the heart of these cherished adaptations. It’s in this spirit that we take a microscope to one particular sequence I’ve obsessed over since I was an impressionable Hobbit-lad in 2003, bursting with anticipation in my theater seat as The Return of the King unfolded before me. Between effusive praise (nothing but respect for MY The Fellowship of the Ring prologue front-loaded with all that worldbuilding and historical lore) and head-scratching disbelief ( they did WHAT to Faramir in The Two Towers?), we can spin ourselves into knots trying to reconcile these two wolves within us - and within the films themselves, too. You can trust the most passionate (insufferable) among us, burdened with book-learned knowledge, to host annual trilogy marathons and debate ourselves in disturbingly Gollum-like fashion. So each Wednesday throughout the year, we'll go there and back again, examining how and why the films have endured as modern classics. ![]() 2021 marks The Lord of the Rings movies' 20th anniversary, and we couldn't imagine exploring the trilogy in just one story. ![]() While "Try That" echoes the anti-urban sentiment of "Okie," it goes further, imagining city folks invading the country and expressing a desire to assert control over them and defend the small town from city influence. At the end of that decade, Merle Haggard released perhaps the most famous anti-city country song, "Okie from Muskogee," which celebrated small-town life and lambasted college protests, anti-war demonstrations and those who let their "hair grow long and shaggy like the hippies out in San Francisco do." While some argue Haggard's lyrics were tongue-in-cheek, generations of country music fans since, along with presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, who both invited the singer to perform at the White House, have not taken it as such. Following racial uprisings that occurred through the second half of the decade, what came to be referred to as "law and order" politics were deployed to quell these uprisings, and social protests more broadly. At the same time, selective availability of home loans in suburbs and racially restrictive housing covenants in cities furthered white flight, making cities synonymous with non-whiteness.īy the mid-1960s, an accelerating civil rights movement provided opportunities for conservative politicians like George Wallace and Richard Nixon to capitalize on white anxieties surrounding urban centers. The rise of anti-city songs during the affluent, post-World War II era coincided with a moment when the formerly rural and heavily white country music audience was rapidly suburbanizing and achieving social mobility through home ownership. The country, as described in hits like Dottie West's "Country Sunshine" (1973), Merle Haggard's "Big City" (1982) and up to more recent years in songs like Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's "Meanwhile Back at Mama's" (2014), continued to be depicted as idyllic. Most often, the city was framed as a place that led to immorality for women, as heard in Bare's "Streets of Baltimore" (1966) when a man takes his woman to the city but she's left "walking the streets of Baltimore." Elsewhere, one could only expect to find murder, heartbreak and decay in the city. Cities outside the South were a frequent target, as in Bobby Bare's "Detroit City" (1963), Ben Peters's "San Francisco is a Lonely Town" (1969), Buck Owens's "I Wouldn't Live in New York City (If They Gave Me the Whole Damn Town)" (1970) and George Jones and Tammy Wynette's "Southern California" (1977). Songs like Ray Price's "City Lights" and Stonewall Jackson's "Life to Go" (both recorded in 1958) depicted cities as dirty, lonely, violent places. Carson also regularly performed at KKK rallies.Īnimosity towards urban areas in country songs grew particularly pronounced in the post-World War II decades - just as the majority of country listeners urbanized. ![]() Carson's song, like many others in popular music at the time, was a minstrel tune, commonly performed in Blackface, and written in 1871 and presented from the perspective of a former slave who longed for a pre-emancipation past. Some of the earliest country songs, like Fiddlin' John Carson's "Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane," recorded in 1923 and often celebrated as one of the first country records, yearns for a rustic home. Songs that pine for an idyllic rural past have been a part of country music since the genre was first invented as a marketing category for rural white Southerners in the 1920s. The discourse over city and country has evolved over time, and taken on its own identity within country music.
