Synch Sound / Sink Sound. Audiovision und Synchronisation in Michael Snows Rameau’s Nephew By Diderot (Thanx to Dennis Young) by Wilma Schoen

Author(s): Müller, Jan Philip

Abstract

Micheal Snow’s talking picture »Rameau’s Nephew […]« (1974) develops an ever unstable taxonomy of audio-visual relations in the talking movie. The contribution investigates this experimental film by following three motives – translation, surface, water – with which the talking movie reflects itself. Thus, moments of transition between mere technical lip-sync and »synchresis« (irreducible audio-visual synthesis of perception, a term coined by Michel Chion) – prove to be a critical point of the talking movie. In this perspective, synchronization is to be understood as a process which distributes and correlates potentials of homogenization and heterogenization.
