Sound does matter Around Sound
Ricardo Steinberg
Monday 2nd October | 4:30 - 6:00 p.m.
Free admission while seating is available
Sound does matter because it is a fundamental element in cinematographic narration while at the same time it is a tool with which a story can be conveyed. Building on this idea, the sound artist, Ricardo Steinberg, who has an extensive background in the field, talks to us about the creation of audio and its expressive possibilities.
The voices, noises and music interact with the images in multiple and single-existing combinations, triggering emotions, sensations and diverse ideas in the spectator. However, the concept that prevails in the professional and academic spheres, and also among the public, is that cinema is a form of expression primarily visual, in which the audio element is a mere plug-in of the motion picture. This master class proposes a reflection not only on the intrinsic importance of sound in cinematographic language, but also on its crucial narrative role.
