Meta-Storytelling und Untertexte durch intelligente Tongestaltung im Film

The volume "Sound Design" is dedicated to the topic of sound and noise in film from a musicology and media studies perspective and focuses on the interfaces and overlaps between the sound levels. The focus is on the narrative and aesthetic possibilities of controlling, interlocking and blurring the boundaries between sounds, music and language in film.

Just as art music, in the course of its development, sought a liaison with the supposedly opposite - the non-musical noise - sounds were linked in new ways with dialog and music as the other two levels of the soundtrack. Using the example of sound in silent films, musicalized noise in animated films, the interface between music and sound and meta-storytelling through sound, the four contributions in this volume examine where film music begins and sound design ends. Or is such a demarcation long outdated?

With contributions by Julia Heimerdinger, Saskia Jaszoltowski, Jörg Lensing and Claus Tieber.
