Re: [microsound] help looking for online sound design articles/interviews

[graham miller <grahammiller@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

you need to read actual physical books unfortunately. they are difficult to obtain and you may cut your finger on something called 'paper.' beware. apparently these 'books' are found in libraries and 'stores' that you have to enter physically. you may also encounter other human beings in face-to-face interaction in these stores, particularly during the purchase phase of you outing. make sure you thoroughly wash to prevent socialism from spreading! i know this, because i too was looking for the very same
material and contemplated actually leaving my place and venturing out into the real world, elements and all, to obtain such archiac storage media. fortunately there is amazon.com, which will deliver to your door.

check out:

michel chion: audio-vision/sound on screen
david sonnenschein: sound design/the expressive power of music, voice and sound effects in cinema
tom kenny: sound for picture/the art of sound design in film and television

there is also a ton of good stuff i've printed off here: http://www.mixonline.com/

do a search.

best,

g.

p.s. you're right - www.filmsound.org sucks big time.
