We often hear how <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> are a visual medium, but what about the other, invisible half? Filmmaker Sam Green (\u201cThe Weather Underground\u201d) wants to get audiences thinking with their ears as much as their eyes, constructing an immersive, audio-driven essay film that focuses our attention on sound: how it works, what it can do and the way that specific noises can either unlock memories or spark entirely new ones.<\/p>\n<p>Full to bursting with humor, emotion and curiosity, \u201c32 Sounds\u201d is a uniquely mind-expanding plunge into a dimension of the human experience so many of us take for granted, a rare and rewarding sonic journey with the potential to enrich our lives. \u201cEnrich our lives?!\u201d I can practically hear you asking. If that sounds like too grandiose a goal, consider this: Unless you\u2019re a musician, an audio engineer or an otolaryngologist (ears, nose and throat doctor), chances are, you don\u2019t spend much of your time reflecting on the miracle of sound. But you\u2019ll almost certainly come to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciate it differently after seeing \u2026 er, <em>hearing<\/em> \u201c32 Sounds,\u201d meticulously constructed as it is to pair relevant, enlightening visuals with a philosophical inquiry into all things audio.<\/p>\n<p>Green designed this active-listening project to be experienced in any number of ways: Ideally, you\u2019ll catch a live show, like the one I attended on the rooftop of the Montalb\u00e1n in Los Angeles during the 2022 Sundance Film Festival (\u201c32 Sounds\u201d was the highlight of the New Frontier section). For such performances, Green appears in person to narrate the screening \u2014 which feels more like a polite, sit-down concert \u2014 while composer JD Samson supplies the score. More likely, you will catch it on streaming, where a slightly different cut attempts to re-create the intimacy of Green\u2019s in-person delivery. (It is this version that SXSW programmed on opening night at its largest venue, Austin\u2019s Paramount Theatre, as Green was unavailable to emcee.)<\/p>\n<p>No matter the format, it\u2019s important to experience \u201c32 Sounds\u201d with noise-canceling headphones (which are provided at live gigs), as the movie is mixed in such a way that the direction the sound comes from is practically as important as the audio itself \u2014 plus, it helps to cut out the rustling, coughing and miscellaneous din that so easily distracts in group settings, like film festival screenings. By insisting on headphones, Green has redesigned the collective dynamic of seeing a movie with strangers such that the hearing part feels private, not unlike dancing at a silent disco \u2014 speaking of which, all shows include an intermission, at which point Green invites audiences to stand up, take off their headphones and dance.<\/p>\n<p>Green designed \u201c32 Sounds\u201d as a participatory documentary. Sometimes that means closing your eyes or trying to visualize something that isn\u2019t there, but mostly, it just entails actively focusing on whatever sound (or sound-related concept) the helmer might be emphasizing at the moment. Structurally, Green was inspired by Fran\u00e7ois Girard\u2019s \u201c32 Short Films About Glenn Gould,\u201d subdividing the movie into numbered chapters (only about half of them are labeled). Frankly, the act of trying to identify and enumerate discrete sounds in a film that contains thousands can feel strangely limiting at times, though it gives audiences a sense of how far along they are in a movie I hoped would never end.<\/p>\n<p>Early on, Green delivers a visual pun, as a hovering drone observes a tree falling in a forest. It does not make a sound \u2014 not yet, at least, though Green will return to that footage later, inviting foley artist Joanna Fang to supply the sound effects that make the creak and crash of falling timber convincing to our ears. This is just one example of the ways the director investigates the source of certain noises, although he\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly more interested in how we receive them, both literally and emotionally. \u201c32 Sounds\u201d wouldn\u2019t be nearly so rewarding if not for a few human subjects on whom he focuses, such as experimental musician Annea Lockwood, who once set a piano on fire to see how it would sound. Green samples from \u201cConversations,\u201d by partner Ruth Anderson; the 18-minute avant-garde piece is composed of words and laughter lifted from phone calls. Green describes what we\u2019re hearing as \u201cthe way two people sound when they\u2019re falling in love,\u201d and I swear I could feel my heart growing bigger as it unspooled.<\/p>\n<p>Lockwood introduces the idea of \u201clistening with\u201d (as opposed to \u201clistening to\u201d) something \u2014 a concept that also applies to fellow innovator and theorist John Cage\u2019s \u201c4\u201933\u201d,\u201d wherein the musician is instructed not to play for 4 minutes and 33 seconds, during which time audiences become aware of other ambient sounds as their attention shifts to the act of listening itself. Cage\u2019s provocative piece is typically \u201cheard\u201d in concert halls, though Green opts for a recording in Harvard Square, where anything but silence fills the space where the music otherwise would be.<\/p>\n<p>Other characters include Nahanda Abiodun, an African American revolutionary holed up in Cuba, for whom a 1979 disco song opens a wormhole in her memory, transporting her back to her involvement with the Black Liberation Army, and Edgar Choueiri, a Lebanese-born Princeton professor focused on three-dimensional audio recordings. Choueiri introduces a dummy head microphone that Green uses for a number of spatial sound experiments throughout the film, but his most impactful scene is one in which he plays a reel-to-reel recording he made for himself at age 11.<\/p>\n<p>Sound can be a powerful emotional receptacle, triggering memories when heard again. And recordings \u2014 like the stash of old answering machine tapes Green allows us to hear late in the film \u2014 make it possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> through time, perhaps even to bring back the dead. The one false note, for me at least, was this scene, which is so personal to Green that he leaves the stage (in live performances). I felt no connection to the voice of his late brother, which perhaps he had not set up well enough, whereas I was a wreck when confronted with a recording from the British Library Sound Archive, featuring the mating call of the last known Moho braccatus, a lonely Hawaiian bird singing for a partner who\u2019d already gone the way of extinction.<\/p>\n<p>Our ears are always working, even in our sleep. They greedily absorb every sound, but without context, our brains don\u2019t know what to make of those cues. \u201c32 Sounds\u201d puts the entire act of listening in context, such that I doubt I will ever hear things the same way again.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
