A picture truly is worth a thousand words: 1- The presence of mug and ashtray gives the impression of a lived in space; someone sat here for hours doing some obviously boring task. 2- The exposed wire visable in the lower corner and the missing component just beneath the lights under the screen hints that the Nostromo is way past its warranty and is held together by ducktape. Telling a story with no words is an art.
Yeah, I love hyper-advanced spacecraft that rely on janky old computer tech that sounds like it's going to malfunction any moment. We need more 70s style sci fi aesthetics.
Are you sure this isn’t Blade Runners Voight-Kamff test. 😊plus the voice announcing numbers from Tyrells room. 😅I like how Scott used the same sounds in his movies.
@@ttrestleI know it’s Alien. I’m saying that Ridley Scott uses the same sounds in his sci fi movie. The female voice is the same as in Tyrell room scene. The CRT display is the same layout as purge scene in BR.
Godammit Dallas. You’re still blind on B and C decks, and the reserve power system’s still blown, AND you’re gonna douse navigation in Folgers. Why don’t you crunch up your Oreos into the Mother console while you’re at it?
Before computer became a normal part of our lives the general public assumed by default that all sounds made by a computer in a movie had a practical origin. It took a whole generation of gamers to get used to the idea that you could customise your user interface to an infinite degree. The takeaway was a computer could look and sound however you wanted. But SciFi TV production had a lot of difficulty dealing with this issue. Remember the DS9 main computer? How federation personnel simply accepted that exotic cardasian interface, despite all the hassles that continually presented. Indeed there were several episodes where hidden features of the main computer were a major plot device. This makes no sense to me. Who would put their lives on the line for exotic tech they did not fully understand? At the very least you would be doing a complete software re-install. Back to the Nostromo. The ships computer sounds the way it does, because that is what the IT personnel or the captain chose. While the ship is clearly a dramatic device and a character in its own right in a horror movie, there are good reasons not to make a ships interior feel like a home away from home. A stark utilitarian environment keeps a crew on their toes. There is no room for unforced error in space. There was a lot of science done surrounding human reaction to various alert sounds for aircraft, trains, and ships etc. While futuristic drama played a lot over the years with sound effects, there was a lot of hangover from the 60s, concerning ‘futuristic’ sound effects for the sake of being futuristic.
Ridley scot re-used sounds from alien for later movies like blade runner and legend. There are computer sounds from both films in this. Plus new sounds that weren't in either
This is nice. I listen to it when I write down my notes for my own projects. This version sounds a bit different compared to the other version I listened a few weeks back. This one has a deeper tone. Either way, I like it :)
There's eight crew members. Well, an agent of the corporation to be precise. His name is Jones aka Jonesy. The agent made sure that the crew was denied their bonus so that the corporation's payroll could be made within budget.
I won't take this Jonesy slander! That cat is as much of a survivor as Ripley; just imagine all the times the xenomorph probably tried to turn him into an appetizer while it was lurking around. Jokes aside though, he's one of my favorite horror movie animals, along with Jed (the dog that played the infected husky in The Thing).

Nah, the ashtray and mug are Ridley Scott's, he just forgot to take them away before cameras rolled.
Retrofuturism is dope

Sooo dope
This isn't retrofuturism. Alien was made in 1979

No. It’s Alien.

There are sounds unique to blade runner in this yes.
I like how someone's coffee is just balanced precariously over a (probably pretty important) computer terminal. I bet it belongs to Dallas. 😅

blown, AND you’re gonna douse navigation in Folgers. Why don’t you crunch up your Oreos into the Mother console while you’re at it?
This reminds me of the arcade in my spaceship. Very cool.

Ripley: “I got you, you son of a b*tch.”
This computer sound is from Blade Runner
Think it is vice versa. Alien came out 1979. Bladerunner came out 1982
Its the Alien computer sound, Alien came out before Bladerunner
Ridley scot re-used sounds from alien for later movies like blade runner and legend. There are computer sounds from both films in this. Plus new sounds that weren't in either
Man, I love this.
This is nice.

Thanks for listening//
@@staticsoundarchives :) Thank you.
Simply perfect!

Behind you is
the thing!!!
наконец-то, то, что я искал
This is freakin based❤🎉
The makers of Alien nicked their sound effects from any old library tapes and a electronic version of Battleships by the sound of it
Really Great !
I wonder if this thing can take me to find my mentor and guidance counselor, Professor X?🤔
This is fuckin awesome
Ths is great, thank you!
Nice job!
Can I finish my coffee? It's the only thing good on this ship.
what if someone spilt coffee on the controls?
1979 computers? They'd laugh and ask for more
This is just com truise with less steps
That's not our system
I know that!
No one can hear you scream in space.
Too many non-applicable sound effects.
how ? why?
