SUMMARY:Rana Eid: Mute/Unmute
DESCRIPTION:Due to the tragic events in the Middle East\, both Rana and the School of Sound felt it best to reschedule her talk for a later date. Those who have purchased tickets will receive a refund and we’ll contact you with the new date. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Juliette Volcler said: “We have barely started to Listen”. (1) What is the act of listening – and why do we\, as practitioners\, have to ask ourselves this question almost every day? I live in Beirut\, a zone of constant conflict. It is like walking on a thin line between stability and instability\, chaos and normality\, armed conflict and political conflict.I ask myself: why am I still living here? What am I looking for\, other than madness? Unfortunately (or not)\, I found that this situation helps enhance my work\, particularly in relation to my point of view/hearing when I am thinking of sound design or sound in general. I realized that my work\, just like my city\, oscillates between sound and noise. The talk will follow this perspective\, focusing mainly on the use of ambiences in films: 1 – The musicality of ambiences and sound editing: how to compose the ambiences as one whole throughout the film (as much as possible). 2 – The importance of having theoretical and filmic talks with the director as much as technical conversations. 3 – What do we really mean when we talk about silence? Is silence mute or noisy? 4 – Are we doing too much or too little? How can we know? Using too many sounds can saturate the act of listening – making it seem like the film is muted while leaving the audience with a sour feeling. Does our sound design sometime feel like tinnitus? 5 – Regarding the sounds that emerge naturally from the image: when are we really listening to the image in front of us? There is an interesting nuance between listening to or hearing a film while working. 6 – In my opinion\, separating your routine from your environment\, your identity and your craft is nearly impossible. For example: living in a noisy and complex city will automatically affect your sound design. 7 – How can we use surround sound in harmony with our reflection around the composition of ambiences – in a way that helps us understand the space we are seeing and feel the acoustics of the city?   (1) Juliette Volcler\, L’orchestration du quotidien\, Design Sonore et écoute au 21e siècle.
