MSH Conference: Nobody Needs Music
11/08/2021
Stephan Eicke
In his workshop, Stephan Eicke will examine the relationship between music, silence and sound design in film. Special attention will be paid to the invisible point where all three elements meet. Where does music stop and sound design start? Excerpts and examples from films such as “Come and See”, “Eraserhead” and “The Conversation” show how music and sound design can work together to help tell a story, and how a close collaboration between composer and sound designer can enhance the viewing experience.
Via exclusive interviews with artists such as Walter Murch, this master class highlights how sound design can even replace music to enhance the viewing experience by supplying the emotions and moods necessary. With clips from films such as “Lost Highway,” Eicke’s class will elaborate how sound design can be treated like music and what effect expressive sound design can have.
