Magical History Tour - Sound in Film

Early experiments with film sound and experimental noise-soundtracks form the focus of our Magical History Tour excursion into the world of soundtracks and sound in film, whose on- or off-screen, diegetic or non-diegetic variants, complex audio arrangements, scores designed to overwhelm and envelop the viewer or breathless silences form an integral part of the film experience. The soundtrack can generate atmosphere or confusion, anticipate images or contradict them, strengthen or stifle their impact. They create an entire world, an independent realm of noise, which always generates questions as to the relationship between image and sound.
