Intermedia Lab + CCRMA Colloquium | Budhaditya Chattopadhyay

Date: 
Fri, 05/06/2022 - 11:50am - 1:00pm
Location: 
CCRMA Stage / Zoom
Event Type: 
Guest Lecture
The Intermedia Lab in collaboration with the CCRMA Colloquium hosts Budhaditya Chattopadhyay for a guest lecture on his recent research titled Beyond the Headphones: Contemporary Film Sound Research.


The event is open to all CCRMA affiliates for in-person attendance or Zoom participation (please join with your Stanford account).



The talk introduces Chattopadhyay’s two recent books: 

The Auditory Setting (2021) investigates how narrative and a sense of place are constructed in film and media arts through the reproduction and mediation of site-specific environmental sounds. Although this sonic backdrop acts as the acoustically mediated space where a story or event can take place, there has been little academic study of sound’s undervalued role in cinematic setting and production. Drawing on theories of narrative, diegesis, mimesis and presence, and following a varied number of relevant film and audio-visual works, this book is a ground-breaking exploration of human agency in mediating environmental sounds and the nature of sonic experience in the Anthropocene. 

 

Between the Headphones (2021) is a collection of interviews, introducing leading film industry sound practitioners from the Indian subcontinent. The book examines historical developments from the advent of the talkies to present-day digital cinema productions, providing an embodied understanding of the unique Indian film sound with new perspectives on cinematic narration in the practitioner’s own words. https://www.cambridgescholars.com/product/978-1-5275-6299-8
