Heathrow to pipe 'sounds of an airport' around airport
-
Don’t worry, soon AI will do all this work and no one will get paid to do anything.
And yet, the bullshit will flow just as freely, if not faster, than before.

Ok, per usual the actual story is slightly less ludicrous. I'm reading this as they are going to make "songs" by taking real sounds but mixing and arranging them into rhythms, the same way they do in some movies as part of an in-world lead up to a song and dance number. So it will blend in but you may notice if you look for it and it will probably impact your subconscious and mood. Which seems to be the main goal.

Listen Betty, don’t start with your white zone/red zone shit again.

Why not? Might be the time of the month eh?

Somebody was paid money for this.
Somebody was paid cold hard cash money to come up with this idea.
Somebody was paid money to approve this.
Somebody was paid money to create and record this.
Somebody was paid money to write this ludicrous story.
Somebody was paid money to edit this ludicrous story.
And it's the poors and immigrants that are to blame for the failings of this country?
I mean, it could be interesting if they piped in ambient noise from outside the boarding area, etc, into the boarding area, particularly around the windows where you can see your plane and stuff.
Or like if there's an observation lounge watching take offs and things.
I assume that's not what they're talking about because no way an airport could be that cool, but details.

Yeah, it's musique concrète with the samples being airport sounds.

It's more likely people were already getting paid and just needed to come up with something to do to justify why they are there.

That's going to suck for anyone that gets sensory overload/feels overwhelmed by loud busy places like airports.

Uh... Hol'up.
I can only guess this prescient classic isn't publicly viewable anymore.

Oh, really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

The best thing to pipe into an observation lounge is the tower/ground frequencies. Watching planes doesn't have to be a Disney experience with a soundtrack.

better than a "close encounters of a third kind" experience. Just saying.

That feeling is civilizational collapse right there
The sign of a dying empire is when you no longer bother to etch designs on the buildings. It's when you no longer give out swag. It's when you cut everything that doesn't make money, but does just make things nice
Doing things just to make things nice is good. It shouldn't need a reason beyond that

wrote last edited by [email protected]I actually disagree having listened to it as someone who gets sensory overload and panic attacks. (Disclaimer: I've just listened with headphones; the real-world implementation might change this.)
I thought the music was pleasant. I can see it helping to organically drown out the loud, chaotic, stressful noises naturally present in the airport.
I'm interested to hear what other people who get sensory overload think, though, since I'll bet it manifests in very different ways.
