Defined in visual terms, the city symphony organizes the visible elements of urban experience according to musical principles such as rhythm and counterpoint.In City Symphonies Daniel Schwartz explores the unheard sonic dimensions of these ostensibly silent films. The book turns its ear to the city symphony as an audible phenomenon, one that encompasses a multitude of works beyond the cinema, such as musical compositions, mass spectacles, radio experiments, and even paintings. What these works have in common is their treatment of the city as a medium for sound. The city is neither background nor content; rather, it is the material through which avant-garde works express themselves. In resonating through the city, these multimedia pieces perform experiments that undermine the borders between sight and sound.Applying an interdisciplinary approach, City Symphonies expands our understanding of the genre, breaking out of the confines of the cinema and onto the street. 606 $aCities and towns in motion pictures 606 $aCity and town life in motion pictures 606 $aCity sounds 606 $aCity symphonies (Motion pictures)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCity symphonies (Motion pictures) 606 $aSound in motion pictures 606 $aSound motion pictures 606 $aPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / History & Criticism$2bisacsh 615 0$aCities and towns in motion pictures. 615 0$aCity and town life in motion pictures. 615 0$aCity sounds. 615 0$aCity symphonies (Motion pictures)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCity symphonies (Motion pictures) 615 0$aSound in motion pictures. 615 0$aSound motion pictures. 615 7$aPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / History & Criticism. 676 $a791.4302 700 $aSchwartz$b Daniel P., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0221666 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009235703321 996 $aCity Symphonies$94393486 997 $aUNINA
