The Silent Sound Designer by Danny Hahn Pdf

Emptiness, stillness and silence in film are discussed in this book as a presence rather than an absence of something. Sounds give structure and meaning to silence; dialogue accentuates pauses; movements revalue stasis; information shapes the unknown. The principal discoveries are quietness, silence, the subtlest moments in film, and sound's power to inspire in us images beyond the screen. This short essay is a lively and passionate introduction to Danny Hahn's major research project on peripheral sound in cinema, and his phenomenology of sonority. Innovative concepts such as audio opacity, cinematic primitivism and audio framing are fuelled by his enthusiasms for silent cinema, and the films of Ozu, Dreyer, Tati, and Tarkovsky.

The Silent Sound by Cliff Pearce Pdf

"A year into his teaching career, Cliff Pearce spotted an advertisement for meteorological assistants to serve on bases in Antarctica. It seemed an exciting opportunity to escape from teaching for a few years and, after training, he set sail late in 1959 for his new life in the land of heroes, icebergs and auroras. The 110-day voyage to his base brought the first of many adventures as the ship was beset by ice for two weeks. He went on to spend two amazing years in Antarctica - first on a base with ten companions, food facilities, abundant wildlife and with South American bases a few miles away. He then went further south, and was one of the first three men to over-winter on Alexander Island, in the base at Fossil Bluff at the edge of the shelf ice which formed 'The Silent Sound.' Here they were completely isolated, with dwindling supplies and increasingly frustrated by the three-month delay in the arrival of the summer sledging teams. Cliff Pearce's wonderful descriptions of the magical land of snow and ice alternate with amusing tales of day-to-day problems and the stresses of being virtually trapped in a hut for four months. The author reflects on the whole history of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 1944 to 1961, and gives a personal view of its performance in making Britain pre-eminent in Antarctic research and exploration in (what was) the British sector of Antarctica."

Silent Film Sound by Rick Altman Pdf

Silent films were, of course, never silent at all. However, the sound that used to accompany the screen picture in the early days of cinema has been neglected as an area of study. Altman explores the various musical, narrative, and even synchronized sound systems that enriched cinema before Jolson spoke.

Shouting Won't Help by Katherine Bouton Pdf

For twenty-two years, Katherine Bouton had a secret that grew harder to keep every day. An editor at The New York Times, at daily editorial meetings she couldn't hear what her colleagues were saying. She had gone profoundly deaf in her left ear; her right was getting worse. As she once put it, she was "the kind of person who might have used an ear trumpet in the nineteenth century." Audiologists agree that we're experiencing a national epidemic of hearing impairment. At present, 50 million Americans suffer some degree of hearing loss—17 percent of the population. And hearing loss is not exclusively a product of growing old. The usual onset is between the ages of nineteen and forty-four, and in many cases the cause is unknown. Shouting Won't Help is a deftly written, deeply felt look at a widespread and misunderstood phenomenon. In the style of Jerome Groopman and Atul Gawande, and using her experience as a guide, Bouton examines the problem personally, psychologically, and physiologically. She speaks with doctors, audiologists, and neurobiologists, and with a variety of people afflicted with midlife hearing loss, braiding their stories with her own to illuminate the startling effects of the condition. The result is a surprisingly engaging account of what it's like to live with an invisible disability—and a robust prescription for our nation's increasing problem with deafness.

Music and Sound in Silent Film by Ruth Barton,Simon Trezise Pdf

Despite their name, the silent films of the early cinematic era were frequently accompanied by music and other sound elements of many kinds, including mechanical instruments, live performers, and audience sing-alongs. The 12 chapters in this concise book explore the multitude of functions filled by music in the rapidly changing context of the silent film era, as the concept of cinema itself developed. Examples are drawn from around the globe and across the history of silent film, both during the classic era of silent film and later uses of the silent format. With contributors drawn from film studies and music disciplines, and including both senior and emerging scholars, Music and Sound in Silent Film offers an essential introduction to the origins of film music and the cinematic art form.

The Sound inside the Silence by Seán Street Pdf

In this poetic exploration of the auditory imagination, the third in his series on sonic aesthetics, Seán Street peoples silence with sound, travelling through time and space to the distant past, the infinite future and the shadow lands of the inner psyche. Our mind is a canvas on which the colours of the sound world leave permanent impressions. It is the root of all listening.
