It explores the relationship between location sound and wider practices of phonographic field recording in the creation of a cinematic sonic environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe latter half of the book shifts attention from from the controlled soundscapes of cinema to the relatively chaotic sonic environments of the world around us. Michael Pigott ultimately demonstrates how a theory of cinematic soundscapes helps us develop practical strategies for investigating the sonic environment in our personal and natural sound worlds, beyond the cinema auditorium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41729574961249,"sku":"9781501350917","price":67.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781501350917-wild-sound","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
