Walter took care of the sound and editing on that for starters!

Wenn wir New Hollywood erklären wollen, dann zeigen wir auf diesen Film: Zwischen dem ersten und zweiten DER PATE inszenierte Francis Ford Coppola DER DIALOG mit technischer Meisterschaft und stellt die Repräsentation von Wahrheit im filmischen Bild und Ton in Frage. Auf oberster Ebene verfolgen wir einen paranoiden Abhörspezialisten bei seiner Suche nach der Wahrheit in einem Stück Tonaufnahme, doch eigentlich werden wir in seine Paranoia mit hineingetrieben und bemerken erst spät, oder gar nicht, dass wir in dem grobkörnigen, direkten Filmbild einer reinen Subjektivierung unterl...

337is (three three seven is)Church Of Murch [disquiet0229]This week's prompt finds me experimenting with using very different tools that I normally do. It would seem that Mr. Murch had tape recorders with variable speed controls for both record and playback functions. My normal field recorder does not have this functionality (well, at least I couldn't figure it out if it does). I know this sort of manipulation can be done after the fact, but I wanted to experience what it is like using the precise method for creating a reverberant space which he describes in this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_py6jVyOqUY All sounds...

-recorded short piece thru zynfx -> podfarm -> ddly
-change speed 4x in audacity
-re-recorded with cardioid mic quite far from speakers (to capture lots of air!)

I bent or broke the Murch fourthworlding by:
