A paisagem sonora eletrônica: a construção de novas audibilidades no cinema

Abstract

New technologies, understood as an integral part of contemporary media environment, help to shape new models of perception. The emergence and proliferation of technologies of synthesis and modeling of sounds by electronic means recreates the relationship between the space in the film and the significant references that we have of that space. The sounds are detached from empirical objects, extending the field of signification and sensorial affectations. When creating new relationships between the body of the spectator and an unprecedented electronic soundscape, new sound technologies, as part of a wider process of media, demand a greater involvement of the audience. Immersion devices, special effects, a new spatial distribution of the sound, greater fidelity and power, they reproduce the physical enchantment generated by the first cinemas. To analyze the emergence of new audibilities, new ways to investigate the world from these technologies and this actual soundscape, this work seeks a threefold approach. Initially, we try to make a phenomenological description of the cinematic experience. Then we use Materiality Theory proposals to deal with the physical affectations induced by electronic soundscape. Finally, we use the perspective of cognitive science which tells us that body, brain and environment in this case an extremely technological one are part of the same dynamic process
