not everything. There is also the sound film.” Thus explained the French filmmaker René Clair in 1929. With this statement Clair was challenging us all to push the boundaries of sound design in films. From the primitive synchronization experiments of Lee de Forest and Thomas Edison to state-of-the-art Dolby Digital 10.2 surround sound‚ there are no boundaries for creating a virtual deluge of sound. Even though one is tempted to hypothesize about the future of sound design‚ it is only through an educated

The active reflector is a loudspeaker driven by the incident sound wave. Its feeding signal is derived from a "wave separator" with two microphones splitting up the standing wave field into incident and

The musical and film of the Sound of Music is set in Austria in the late 1930s with Europe on the brink of the Second World War. In historical context Austria has been portrayed by some historians at the first victim on Hitler’s expansionism of the Third Reich as part of its plan to conquer Europe and remedy for the injustices in the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.

The evolution of sound in cinema Jay Beck General histories of the relationship between sound and image in cinema tend to perpetuate an ocular-centricity (emphasizing vision over the other senses) that dates back to the very earliest experiments in “moving pictures”—a term which itself serves to confuse historians. The vast majority of cinema histories tend to relegate the subject of sound in cinema to a subordinate position by studying the transition to the sound period in the late 1920s and

Sadie Broadway Speed of Sound In Air We are studying the speed of sound in air currently in our physics class. The speed of sound is the distance traveled by a sound wave through an elastic medium during a period of time. The speed of sound is extremely interesting‚ as it’s actually the speed of transmission of a small disturbance through a medium. The speed of sound occurs constantly‚ whenever a sound is heard. It’s everywhere‚ and in air we are discovering certain factors like altitude and air

Types of Sound Change When a sound changes because of the influence of a neighboring sound‚ the change is called a conditioned sound change. We have already considered a good example of a conditioned sound change from the history of English namely‚ the palatalization【語】顎音化of [k] before the front vowel [ī]. Notice that the only voiceless【語】清音的‚ 無聲的velar【語】軟顎音的 stops【語】塞音that were palatalized were those occurring before the vowel [ī]; all other velar stops remain剩下‚ 餘留nonpalatal. Evidence o this is
