Remember a file from sun.com, talking about multimedia, and one important
point, maybe the most important, was, that people judge things by audio
quality. If it is bad audio, people think its a bad movie quality. Dont
know what this means in relation to content, but there is one women artist
from canada, much praised installations in munich, with "artificial head"
recordings. The position of the mikes, mikes moving, walking, all that
audio....
"Artificial head" recordings were rather pupular in the 70s/80s here,
Sennheiser sold the equipment (or some company like that), an "artificial
head" made from plastic and mikes in the "artificial" ears. The effect
needs headphones for listening. Think there was also some experiments,
products, that did put the mikes in the real head, the real ears.
Dont have the paper at hand, name of the woman artist from canada,
soundtracks and pictures, movies. One of my favourite is "L'histoire
d'eau" with the voice an the end instead of inserts, titles. See it.
"This was a movie by Jean Luc Godard and ..." The second best is "La
Jette". And speaking of audio: tango in science fiction movies, 12 monkeys
etc....anybody ever realised that ? Or the audio of Leni Riefenstahls
Olympia factory ? Its like Malanga.
