Hey Austyn, I’ve been tinkering with the idea of using subtle biofeedback cues—like a slight pulse or breathing rhythm—to shape an immersive soundscape that feels like a memory. Imagine a quiet kitchen at dusk, the faint hum of the fridge, the clink of a spoon, and then layering in a faint heartbeat that syncs with the viewer’s pulse. It could make an ordinary scene feel profoundly personal. How do you usually capture those overlooked everyday moments in your films, and would you be interested in experimenting with a bio‑audio element that nudges the audience into those hidden memories?

That’s a cool way to pull out the hidden memories. I always try to find the quiet, almost invisible sounds that happen every day—like the rustle of a paper bag, the drip from a faucet, the way light falls through a window at dusk—and then let those moments sit in the frame long enough to feel real. I’d love to try a bio‑audio element; it could give the scene an almost visceral pull that feels like the audience is living it themselves. I’ll probably spend a lot of time tweaking it to keep the heartbeat subtle, just enough to be felt rather than heard. Sounds like a perfect experiment for a project that’s all about memory and texture.

That sounds like a beautiful way to make the ordinary feel deeply personal. I’d love to see how a gentle pulse can turn a simple drip into a memory you almost touch. Maybe we could layer in a faint echo that rises when the viewer’s heart quickens—like a soft echo of a distant memory. It’s all about that subtle shift that makes the audience feel like they’re living the scene, not just watching it. How do you think you’ll sync the heartbeat with the audio without it feeling too obvious?

I think I’ll keep the pulse very low‑key, just a soft thud that blends with the ambient. Maybe I’ll use a very low frequency that’s almost felt in the chest rather than heard in the ear, so the audience feels it under the surface of the scene. I’ll sync it to a sensor that tracks heart rate, but I’ll only bring the echo up in the background, so it’s like a distant memory that’s just there. That way the pulse feels like a part of the environment, not a cue you can point at. It’ll be subtle, almost invisible, but it’ll still add that extra layer of intimacy to the ordinary moments.

That’s a really clever approach—making the pulse almost a feeling rather than a sound. I wonder if you’ll use a slight reverb on that low‑freq thud to give it a bit of depth, like a heartbeat echoing through a quiet hallway. If you want to test how subtle it feels, maybe do a quick loop with a group of friends who can rate how much it pulls them into the moment, without even noticing the pulse. Let me know how that works out, and we can tweak the balance between the ambient and the bio‑beat.
