The Apple Doesn't Fall Far

Contains color-coded subtitles. Made in 2021.

cw spoilers, death

It's about the very strained paternal relationship between Jason and Batman and (probably) mental illness.

Also on ao3.

Video + Audio: Batman: Assault on Arkham, Bad Blood, Death in the Family (interactive), Hush, The Killing Joke, Under the Red Hood, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, Batman vs Robin, Young Justice Audio only: Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4), Supernatural (TV) Music: Balmorhea – Remembrance Work time: ~27 hours Edited with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

I used https://audiostrip.co.uk/ to help isolate the vocals for the spoken parts.

I was watching a ton of Jason Todd AMVs and one of the things I disliked was the inconsistency between the voices used. So for this video, I decided to use only Jensen Ackles’ voice, who voiced Jason in the original Red Hood movie as well as played Dean Winchester in the “Supernatural” show.

Bu şarkı çok garip değil mi? Sözleri yok ancak melodisiyle bile insanı uzaklara daldırıp ağlatabiliyor…

Michael A. Muller — Mirror Music (Deutsche Grammophon)

Ten independent artists — largely from the improvised, jazz-adjacent ambient side of things — venture into Michael A. Muller’s glowing, swirling soundscapes, each finding and bringing different textures there. Muller, a founder of the Texas minimalist music collective Balmorhea, sticks to long-toned, keyboard-based instruments: a Mellotron, an Oberheim Two-Voice Synthesizer and a Rhodes organ, creating luminous auras of tone. His collaborators play a variety of instruments — guitar, percussion, voice and cello — populating these edgeless, serene sonic spaces with melody and rhythm.

Muller himself plays the guitar, and he seems to have a particular affinity for its devotees. Bay Area finger-picker Danny Paul Grody scatters sparkly chords and meditative runs across synthesizer washes that surge and swell and ebb. Without the guitar, these tones might be too unreal, too grand, too beautiful to catch, but with these slow-blooming, organic figures, the music makes sense on a human scale. Chuck Johnson is a different case. His silvery sustained pedal steel music contains its own uncanny valleys, and so he slides like a ghost between shimmering, vibrating curtains, carving aching arcs of longing into a chilled, cerebral landscape. Douglas McCombs, of Tortoise, Brokeback and Black Duck, picks a clean, reverberating, almost surf-toned melody across an oscillating, shifting, reverential backdrop; he cuts right through it, emphatic and sure.

Women artists make a mark, though mostly with their voices. Vestals float eerie, altered sighs and caresses over the clear tones of Rhodes, a piercing descant one of this disc’s most gorgeous sounds. The Polish composer and pianist Hania Rani also sings, in a whisper amid shivering ambiences, in a way that reminds me a little of Mia Doi Todd. But Clarice Jensen, who sometimes plays with Balmorhea, brings her instrument along, threading rich throbs of cello through a landscape of widely spaced piano chords.

In the mirror game, budding actors stand face to face, copying each other’s expressions and gestures in real time, in a sort of synchronized dance. Here, the interaction is more oblique, with each artist staring into a foggy reflection and finding some element of themselves there. The music that arises is hardly synchronized, but the players find a way to react and build on what the other is doing. Oh, and it’s lovely. That’s important, too.

Family

(It's about Bobby)

Video:Supernatural Audio:Balmorhea, audio From video Source Balmorhea – Truth; TV audio Premiere Date:2013 Status:Downloadable, Streamable Genre(s):Character Profile, Sentimental

Original 2013 description:

Shortly after finishing my “Supernatural – Anything” video, I became inspired by a few other SPN fan videos that combined show dialogue and a song from Balmorhea. I got all my footage together again and decided to do a quick Bobby Singer tribute. Bobby is/was my favorite Supernatural character and I think there is someone in everyone’s life that is similar to Bobby. The writers of Supernatural are phenomenal people who develop all their characters so completely… It is inspiring. This video pulls at my heart strings every time. It almost hurt to edit it.

This video was very close to me because I, myself, have had family problems and have adopted new families over the course of my life. Being accepted as a family member to people you are not blood-related to is such a special and unique feeling, and it is that feeling that I wanted to incorporate in this video and the dialogue presented. Bobby went from an unremarkable, meaningless life to one filled with joy. He got three sons(Sam, Dean, & Cas), all of whom cared deeply for him. I don’t think he could’ve died happier with all he had accomplished.
