[Muzaq] Documentary: What the Future Sounded Like
Guys this is really a nice finding by a friend of ours. The 2006 music documentary “What the Future Sounded Like” is a 27 min lasting australian short film about the british electronic music scene.
In contrast to many other documentaries, “What the Future Sounded Like”, covers the time between World War 2 and the 1970s, when computers where not available.
“It was a period of sweeping change and experimentation where art and culture participated in and reflected the wider social changes. In this atmosphere was born the Electronic Music Studios (EMS), a radical group of avant-garde electronic musicians who utilized technology and experimentation to compose a futuristic electronic sound-scape for the New Britain.” (Source)
Among many other places it has been screened in Berlin at the Musik-Film-Marathon in 2012. It is now available for everybody via Youtube.

[Muzaq] Universal Audio Releases Shadow Hills Compressor Plugin
Like the hardware version, the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor plug-in offers selection of three distinct output transformers (Nickel, Iron, and Steel) — taking the signal from “clean” to “colored” and “dirty” — as if selecting from the output stages of three distinct classic analog consoles.

- Created by the highly trained monkeys at Brainworx, developed for the UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform
- Separate Optical and Discrete (VCA) dynamics sections for two-stage serial dynamics control
- Transformer matrix switches between Nickel, Iron, and Steel output transformers — like selecting between 3 distinct vintage console outputs
- 90Hz sidechain filtering for musical compression of low-frequency program material
- Large, accurate VU meters provide Optical, Discrete, or Output gain views
- Custom presets created by Peter Reardon
