Lipsynching: The Study of Sound

Autor Dr. Merrie Snell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 ian 2020
What does it mean when a singing voice is detached from an originating body through recording? And how does this affect consumers of recorded song? This book examines the practice of lipsynching to pre-recorded song in both professional and vernacular contexts, covering over a century of diverse artistic practices from early cinema through to the current popularity of self-produced internet lipsynching videos. It examines the ways in which we listen to, respond to, and use recorded music, not only as a commodity to be consumed but as a culturally-sophisticated and complex means of identification, a site of projection, introjection, and habitation, and, through this, a means of personal and collective creativity.

Recenzii

Engages with the phenomenon from a variety of different perspectives ... Snell covers interesting historical and technical material.
This book is a gripping and wide-ranging study of the issues that arise when a voice inhabits another body and, by doing so, creates a new audio-visual collage. Its insights will come as a revelation to anyone who thinks lipsynching is simply a matter of ensuring that your lips move at the same time as the recorded voice.
Spanning from the Kinetograph to viral videos, this is a rich study that situates lipsynching - as a creative, 'readerly' form of listening - in a long history of audio-visual media, culminating in what Snell calls a 'soundtracked life'. It will be a valuable book for sound and media scholars, and for anyone interested in how notions of the cinematic extend into today's vernacular musical practices.
