Carl Theodor Dreyer’s “Vampyr”
Vertigo (1958, Alfred Hitchcock)
Cinema Redux explores the idea of distilling a whole film down to one single image.
“Ti scrivo per dirti che so chi sei realmente. Conosco l’abilità delle tue mani. So fin dove arriva la tua obbedienza. So da dove vieni e che cosa fai. So che cosa pensi. So che cosa vuoi. Conosco la grandezza del tuo destino. Mi piaci.”
- Ellery Queen, The Player on the Other Side
In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it.
The interview is interesting, and the animation complements it perfectly. (via yewknee)

Sound to Sense - Sense to Sound: A state of the art in Sound and Music Computing
Since the 1950’s, Sound and Music Computing (SMC) research has been producing a profound impact on the development of culture and technology in our post-industrial society. SMC research approaches the whole sound and music communication chain from a multidisciplinary point of view. By combining scientific, technological and artistic methodologies it aims at understanding, modelling, representing and producing sound and music using computational approaches. This book, by describing the state of the art in SMC research, gives hints of future developments, whose general purpose will be to bridge the semantic gap, the hiatus that currently separates sound from sense and sense from sound.
