<br><p><i>If the eye is entirely won,
give nothing or almost nothing to the ear…and vice versa, if the ear is
entirely won, give nothing to the eye. One can not be at the same time
all eye and all ear.</i> – Robert Bresson, <i>Notes on Cinematography</i></p>This
episode of Zepelim sets out to make the eye impatient by presenting the
sounds of non-dialogue scenes edited from 10 Manoel de Oliveira films. The goal is to explore the rich auditory dynamics of Oliveira’s
non-dialogue scenes. The sounds presented in this collage are not
organized according to the films’ chronology or storylines. Rather,
they are grouped as much as possible according to other properties like
volume, pitch, and intensity of the samples as well as by common themes
like footsteps, motors roaring, wind blowing, characters breathing, wood
creaking, etc. In the context of radio, these sounds become the focal
point while unique new visual layers are free to form in the listener’s
imagination. <font><br></font><h3><a href="http://zepelimruc2.podomatic.com/player/web/2012-05-01T11_50_18-07_00" target="_blank">Podcast</a> – <a href="http://zepelimruc2.podomatic.com/enclosure/2012-05-01T11_50_18-07_00.mp3" target="_blank">Download</a></h3>
