Regarding Smith's version, Scheetz said that it brought his emotive vocals to the forefront and enhanced the song's "throbbing" beat, adding that, in the chorus, "the already propulsive synths become unavoidably sweeping".<ref name=av /> ''[[Beats per Minute (website)|Beats per Minute]]'' staff said that this version's chorus has a heavier mix.<ref name=bpm-2010 /> Pytlik said that Kath's "storming synth squalls" provide the perfect contrast to Smith's "precarious and insecure delivery".<ref name=pitchfork-2010 /> Larry Fitzmaurice of ''Pitchfork'' said that this version has a stronger structure and powerful synths with an anthemic intensity.<ref name=pitchfork-2014 />

Rivet

Rivet is a character introduced in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

Development

(The following paragraph is taken from the Rift Apart article)

Intrigued by the concept of different choices, outcomes and circumstances shaping the trajectory of one's life, the idea of Rivet was born in tandem with the exploration of the alternate universe setting in the franchise.[1] Lead writer Lauren Mee, and lead animator, Lindsay Thompson, were very interested in a new character that would have their own perspective, and survival instincts embodied by their given circumstances in a darker universe. Thompson described Rivet as having a "tough exterior and perceived coolness, she’s never cynical, dark or cruel. Sure, she might not know the best way to act in a social situation, but she sure as hell isn’t shy."[1] Smith noted that the team were interested in representing complexity and nuance with parallel counterparts of characters, citing the importance of not depicting characters like Rivet as a "one dimensional" antithesis to their counterparts in every way. Mee stressed that it was important that Rivet's lived experiences have not left her jaded, as though she comes with her own struggles, they have not robbed the hope she has in saving her universe against the forces of Emperor Nefarious. Following the creation of Rivet, several auditions were held to find the right voice for the character. The studio later recruited voice actress, Jennifer Hale, who previously voiced the female Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect series.[1]

Background and release

The Fireplace for Your Home series was created by George Ford, the founder of Pet Media Plus, based in Longview, Washington.[3] He got the idea for the first film after filming a DVD called Adventure Cat: "It’s a television video for cats to keep them busy, and all these mice were running around and I thought, 'I’m like a reality filmmaker for rodents.' It got me thinking about what else I could capture."[3] He was inspired by the WPIX program Yule Log, which aired in the 1960s.[4][3]

Reception

Reviewing fireplace videos, Drew Prindle of Digital Trends gave the original Fireplace for Your Home a 7/10 rating, the Classic Edition a 10/10 rating and the Birchwood Edition an "11/10" rating, descrining the latter as a magnum opus and George Ford as "legendary".[1]

To See

Songs

The album has lengthy tracks;[1] eight of the ten songs on the album exceed the five-minute mark,[2] and many of them get close to 10 minutes of duration.[3] Parannoul organized the tracklist as if it was a live album.[4] The opening track is "Beautiful World", which begins with a sample of All About Lily Chou-Chou and resembles My Bloody Valentine's "Only Shallow", according to Jang.[5] Cohen felt that the lyrics "I wish no one had seen my miserable self / I wish no one had seen my numerous failures / I wish my young and stupid days to disappear forever" was melodramatic and exemplified that the album was "not an antidote to its creator's paralyzing misery, but a monument that honors its enormity".[1] Elle Palmer of Far Out Magazine felt the song "combines bleeping tones with caustic interludes of noise".[6]

Music of Celeste (video game)

  • As of now, content of this draft is mostly taken from Celeste (video game); check its history for attribution.
Celeste composer Lena Raine

The music for the 2018 video game Celeste, developed and published by indie studio Maddy Makes Games, was primarily composed by Lena Raine.

Conception

Lena Raine composed the majority of Celeste's soundtrack,[1][2] with additional composers providing remixes of Raine's score for most of the B-side levels.[3] Raine's score informed the visual design for certain levels.[4] Sound designer Kevin Regamey[5] incorporated sound effects into the music to further match gameplay, after which Raine would contribute further "musical ambience".[6]

Specific sounds in the music of Celeste were designed to match certain themes. According to Raine, "In The Mirror" was one of the strangest tracks she has composed. Its synthesizer-heavy sequences, noted by Raine to be reminiscent of Vangelis and Blade Runner (1982), were designed to match the "cosmic horrors" experienced by Madeline. In "Resurrections", she created an "othering" sound that transitioned from the more simple melodic progression of "First Steps", and an "etherial sound evocative of a space that didn't seem quite real", as the song would play during a lucid dream sequence.[3] "In the Mirror" includes vocals performed by Raine as Madeline's internal dialogue, reversed due to the theming of mirrors.[3] When developing the song, she wanted there to be a sound nearly unintelligible and spoken in the background. She decided to record herself in a dark closet, attempting to vocalize what she related to in Madeline's struggles.[1] According to Raine, she tries to "inject some part" of herself into her musical projects.[3]

Each character in Celeste is represented by their own instrument. Madeline is represented by a piano, Badeline is represented by a synthesizer, Theo is represented by guitar, and Oshiro is represented by a "theremin-like" synthesizer. Granny is an exception, as, according to Raine, "she embodies the power of the mountain and is a fairly omnipresent figure". Badeline's theme, a motif that first appears in "Resurrections" and later reappears in several other tracks, is written entirely in minor key, in contrast to Madeline's, which is "primarily cheery" and only occasionally transitions into a minor key. In the song "Anxiety", Raine attempted to capture the feeling of a panic attack and made the piano theme representative of Madeline be "engulfed" by the synthesizer representative of Badeline.[3]

Raine returned to compose the soundtrack for Farewell.[7][8]

Release

In October 2018, Scarlet Moon Records announced Prescriptions for Sleep: Celeste, an album of Celeste cover songs described by Nintendo Life as "lullaby-style renditions" of the game's soundtrack. Prescriptions for Sleep: Celeste features violin by Maiko, saxophone by Norihiko Hibino, and piano by AYAKI, with Raine serving as co-producer.[9] On January 21, 2019, it was announced that the game's soundtrack would receive an album of piano covers by Trevor Alan Gomes, titled Celeste Piano Collections, a part of the Piano Collections series by Materia Collective,[10] released on January 25.[11] In July, Materia Collective purchased the publishing rights for the music, and the composers of the game's B-side music went without royalties for 17 months.[12]

Reception

In reviews of Celeste, several critics lauded it as among the best video game soundtracks,[13][14][15] and others appreciated how it complimented the gameplay.[a] IGN said that it added an "amazing amount of life" to each area,[13] and Kotaku said that "Anxiety" in particularly captured "the feeling of true anxiety".[21] Reviewers felt that it remained enjoyable to listen to even after extended periods of time,[22][18] and certain aspects of the music were praised, such as the synthesizer or piano portions.[23][17] Critics also appreciated the remixes of songs present in the B-side levels,[13] with Nintendo World Report saying they were "just as magnificent" as the rest of the music.[20]

Farewell's music was praised by Kotaku, who said it was "fantastic", and that the world as a whole was "charming".[24]

It has been named one of the best video game soundtracks of all time by multiple publications.[25][26][27][28][29]

"Divinity" is a song by American record producer Porter Robinson featuring Amy Millan. It is the opening track for Robinson's debut studio album, Worlds, released on August 12, 2014.

Background and composition

I started the album with that song because it was the first one that I wrote that I felt was in the style of Worlds. It was the first one that had the 90 BPM, side-chained chords, sort of slowed-down but still four-on-the-floor and more emotional quality that starts the hook, which I'd say it was a big part of the sonic quality of Worlds. That was the first song that I wrote like that. And I also love albums that start off with like a strong riff.

—Porter Robinson[1]

Porter Robinson was initially known for his electro and complextro music, such as the 2010 single "Say My Name" and the 2011 extended play Spitfire.[2][3] Across 2012, Robinson performed at major electronic dance music (EDM) festivals,[4] but gradually became dissatisfied with the genre. He reported experiencing "four or five fully-blown anxiety attacks onstage" that year, yelling "dance music is terrible" at one of his shows.[5] Following the release of his single "Language" (2012), Robinson set out to write an album he felt was "beautiful and emotional".[6]

"Divinity" was one of the first songs written for Worlds, and Robinson chose it as the opening track of the album due to its sound, which he believed to be "very [him]" and representative of the album.[7] A distorted sound, a "boys choir type sound that [he] was messing with", works as the main instrument of the track. The instrumental existed before Amy Millan was featured on the track.[1] Millan is the vocalist of Stars, a band that connects to Robinson's emotional adolescent years.[7]

Release and reception

On August 5, 2014, during NPR's pre-release of Worlds, they chose it as part of their "Songs We Love" list.[8] Scott Greene of Your EDM stated that the song "serves as a great introduction to the overall concept of the album".[9] Tatiana Cirisano of Billboard wrote that there is a large contrast between the intro and chorus; while the former contains "underwater-sounding", smooth vocals, the latter contains a "cacophony" of cymbals and glitch-like sounds reminiscent of video games.[10] Barry Walters of Wondering Sound said that it features common characteristics of EDM, such as a powerful beat, dense layers of synthesizers, and an airy female vocal,[11] while Elissa Stolman of Vice described the track as an indie-electronic "festival rave anthem", with synths that resembled M83's "Midnight City" (2011).[12] Alternatively, Rupert Howe of Q found similarities to electronica and M83-like space rock.[13] Derek Staples of Consequence of Sound declared that the "ethereal electro vibes" of "Divinity" "evoke images of a Glitch Mob/The M Machine collaboration".[14]

It charted at 35 on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs[15] and certified gold in the United States.[16] In 2015, the song was remixed by Odesza and included in Worlds Remixed.[17] Billboard critics chose the song as the 6th best of Porter Robinson, in 2017.[10] In 2018, it was remixed by Rezz.[18][19] Robinson played the song in 2021 at Secret Sky.[20]

AI rat incident

This widely-mocked figure was captioned as "Spermatogonial stem cells, isolated, purified and cultured from rat testes".

On February 13, 2024, Frontiers Media's Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology published "Cellular functions of spermatogonial stem cells in relation to JAK/STAT signaling pathway".[1] The paper included AI-generated images with Midjourney, most notably one of a rat with a very large penis.[2][3] The paper was later retracted. Microbiologist and scientific integrity consultant Elisabeth Bik described it as being "a sad example of how scientific journals, editors, and peer reviewers can be naive—or possibly even in the loop—in terms of accepting and publishing AI-generated crap".[2]

"Not in Love" is a song recorded by the Canadian electronic music duo Crystal Castles featuring the English musician Robert Smith of the band the Cure. It is a re-recording of a Crystal Castles song of the same name, which is itself a cover of the song "Not in Love" (1983) by Platinum Blonde. The original song appeared on their second studio album, Crystal Castles (2010). The version with Robert Smith was digitally released as a single on October 26, 2010. It was named one of the best songs of 2010 by multiple publications.

Background

"Not in Love" is a 1983 song by Platinum Blonde. Crystal Castles re-recorded it for Crystal Castles (2010), which, according to a press release, was recorded at "an Icelandic church, a Canadian cabin, and a Detroit garage".[1] Another press release mentions that Crystal Castles opened for the Cure at London's The O2 Arena in February 2009; this was the first time they met.[2] Ethan Kath recorded his vocals for "Not in Love" as "a scratch demo"; he did not intend for them to be final. Following the album's release, Robert Smith of the Cure asked if he could remix a song on Crystal Castles (2010). Kath suggested that Smith replaced his vocals in "Not In Love" instead.[3] Robert Smith recorded "raw demo vocals" for the song and Crystal Castles canceled the plans to record his vocals in a studio, as the band became attached to the demo vocals.[4]

Composition

The original version of "Not in Love" was characterized as synth-pop by Heather Phares of AllMusic.[5] Mark Richardson of Pitchfork said this version was filled with digital noise and heavy distortion,[6] although Mark Pytlik wrote to the same website that it is "much tamer" when compared to Robert Smith's version.[7] Cameron Scheetz of The A.V. Club wrote that Kath's "distant, distorted vocals" provided a ghostly feel to the lyrics.[8] An NME writer said that "[t]here's an urgency to the keyboards that crescendos into a wall of sound that wraps around you like a blanket".[9]

Regarding Smith's version, Scheetz said that it brought his emotive vocals to the forefront and enhanced the song's "throbbing" beat, adding that, in the chorus, "the already propulsive synths become unavoidably sweeping".[8] Beats per Minute staff said that this version's chorus has a heavier mix.[10] Pytlik said that Kath's "storming synth squalls" provide the perfect contrast to Smith's "precarious and insecure delivery".[7] Larry Fitzmaurice of Pitchfork said that this version has a stronger structure and powerful synths with an anthemic intensity.[11]

Release and reception

Regarding the original Crystal Castles version, James Lawrenson of Drowned in Sound said that the song could be considered "filler" and "could have been dropped as a B-side",[12] while Beats per Minute staff described it as "pretty pedestrian".[10] Emily Bick of The Quietus wrote that the song "shifts towards discomfort, disillusion, despair";[13] conversely, Justin Jacobs of Paste described it as "pretty" and that it "sounds the way twinkling Christmas lights look".[14] Pytlik of Pitchfork said that it "barely seemed to make a dent" when Crystal Castles was released.[7]

The Robert Smith version of "Not in Love" was first announced on October 24, 2010,[15] with the song being officially released two days later.[16] It was planned to be released on December 6 in the United Kingdom via Fiction, with the B-sides containing acoustic demos of "Celestica" and "Suffocation". However, the release never happened.[15][17] A music video for the song was released in January 2011.[18][19]

Pitchfork named it the "Best New Track", with Richardson saying that Smith "elevates" the original version, balancing nostalgia and the immediacy of life.[6] Fact wrote that it is "as satisfying as you could have hoped for".[20] Ryan Dombal wrote for Pitchfork that "Smith's voice is loud and clear on the track, which has to be one of the catchiest things Crystal Castles have ever been associated with."[16] Larry Fitzmaurice wrote to the same website that the song "is massive, to the point where it produces chills" and "Once again, Kath and Glass spun aesthetic gold out of something that was decidedly not theirs, but the high-definition angst of 'Not in Love' nonetheless belongs to no one but themselves". He also said that this was one of the best performances of Smith until then.[11]

Scheetz wrote that "with the Cure, Smith always wore his heart on his sleeve and, here, his emotional vulnerability can't help but uncover some of the tender longing[s] beneath Crystal Castles' cool, icy facade".[8] Brandon Stosuy of Stereogum said that the cover "sounds like the best thing the Cure put together in ages while offering another angle at the kind of saturated, blasted goth-noise prettiness Alice Glass and Ethan Kath do well".[21] Slant Magazine staff said that "The crunchy production combined with Smith's familiar pangs is heart-wrenching and nothing short of blisteringly gorgeous".[22]

Molly Beauchemin of Pitchfork wrote: "The song's explosive, life-affirming chorus segues into Kath's gentle interludes with triumphant precision, making it one of Crystal Castles' finest, most cathartic ballads".[23] A DIY writer said: "Nothing in their back-catalogue sounds nearly as pure or destined for the giant festival stages it eventually ended up soundtracking", adding that it was one of the best covers of the 2010s and "a crazed re-creation of a song that looked to be dead and buried".[24]

The song was featured in the video game FIFA 12 (2011).[25]

Accolades

"Not in Love" was named one of the best songs of 2010 by BBC Radio 6 Music, Beats per Minute, Fact, Pazz & Jop, Pitchfork, PopMatters, Slant Magazine. In 2014, Pitchfork considered it among the best songs of the decade until then. In 2022, Rolling Stone named it one of the best gothic songs of all time.
