  • Southern Fandom Confederation Update Southern
    Southern Fandom Confederation Update Volume 1, Number 16 Warren Buff, Editor & SFC President 2412 Still Forest Pl, Apt F Raleigh, NC 27607 [email protected] (919) 633-4993 Editorial: I’m forgoing a lot of bells and whistles (but hey, check out that cover art by Jose Sanchez!) on this issue in favor of actually getting it out to folks again. We’ve got a con report from Joy V. Ward, a book review from Rich Dengrove, and another good article from Dr. Jeff in the anchor slot. I’ll try to get back on the monthly production cycle, and I promise an SFC Bulletin real soon now. At ReConStruction, I was able to get a look at some old issues of the Bulletin, and noticed that they were only two sheets, double-sided, and contained short listings about happenings in Southern Fandom. Switching back to such a format for the Bulletin would probably allow us to afford releasing it a whole lot more often (and being less work, I could probably get on that production cycle). I do frequently get emails about things going on, and I’d like to pass the information along to the club. Would that be an effective or efficient way to do so? A Note From Westercon: While I was at Westercon, I brought up a new take on an old idea I’d had. I suggested to several fans involved with various Westercons and active in that region the possibility of running a fan fund to send fans back and forth between Westercon and DSC.

  • Creating a Sound World for Dracula (Browning,1931)
    Creating a Sound World for Dracula (Browning,1931) Titas Petrikis A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2014 Bournemouth University Copyright statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 2 Abstract Creating a Sound World for Dracula (Browning, 1931) The first use of recorded sound in a feature film was in Don Juan (Crosland 1926). From 1933 onwards, rich film scoring and Foley effects were common in many films. In this context, Dracula (Browning 1931)1 belongs to the transitional period between silent and sound films. Dracula’s original soundtrack consists of only a few sonic elements: dialogue and incidental sound effects. Music is used only at the beginning and in the middle (one diegetic scene) of the film; there is no underscoring. The reasons for the ‘emptiness’ of the soundtrack are partly technological, partly cultural. Browning’s film remains a significant filmic event, despite its noisy original soundtrack and the absence of music. In this study Dracula’s original dialogue has been revoiced, and the film has been scored with new sound design and music, becoming part of a larger, contextual composition. This creative practice-based research explores the potential convergence of film sound and music, and the potential for additional meaning to be created by a multi-channel composition outside the dramatic trajectory of Dracula.

    Oracles Previous postings from the Wm. Thomas Sherman Info Page 2015. By Wm. Thomas Sherman 1604 NW 70th St. Seattle, WA 98117 206-784-1132 [email protected] http://www.gunjones.com ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ TENETS *If we ever experienced a problem anywhere, it came about, in some degree, due to certain wrong assumptions, either co-present with, or just prior to the given problem’s actually taking place. * Unless you believe in God, the One, and or the infinite, every assumption is contingent. * PROCESS (or if you prefer spirit, or activity) PRECEDES IMAGE. Image may, to some extent, (and sometimes almost perfectly) represent process. But process is always superior to and always more real than image. If process precedes image this might suggest also that mind precedes matter and energy. * Everything we believe, or say we know, is based on a factual or value judgment. Both kinds of judgment always entail the other to some extent, and nothing can be known or exists for us without them. * No fact or purported fact is true or false without someone to assert and believe it to be such. If an assertion or claim is deemed true or false then, and we are thorough, we should ask who is it that says so (or has said so), and what criteria are (were) they using? There is no such thing as “faceless” truth or reality -- at least none we are capable of knowing. * You can’t escape reason. If you aren’t rational yourself, someone else will be rational for you; nor do their intentions toward you need to be friendly or benevolent.
