Anatomy of Sound: Norman Corwin and Media Authorship

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (12539 ratings)

Description:This collection of essays examines one of the most important, yet understudied, media authors of all time Norman Corwin using him as a critical lens to consider the history of multimedia authorship, particularly in the realm of sound. Known for seven decades as the poet laureate of radio, Corwin is most famous for his radio dramas, which reached tens of millions of listeners around the world and contributed to radio drama s success as a mass media form in the 1930s and 1940s. But Corwin was a pioneer in multiple media, including cinema, theater, TV, public service broadcasting, journalism, and even cantata. In each of these areas, Corwin had a distinctive approach to sonic aesthetics and mastery of multiple aspects of media production, relying in part on his inventive atmospheric effects in the studio both prerecorded, and, more impressively, live in real time. From the front lines of World War II to his role as Chief of Special Projects for United Nations Radio and his influence on media today, the political and social aspect of Corwin s work is woven into these essays. With a foreword by Michele Hilmes and contributions from Thomas Doherty, Mary Ann Watson, Shawn VanCour, David Ossman and others, this volume cements Corwin s reputation as perhaps the greatest writer in the history of radio, while also showing that his long career is a neglected model of multimedia authorship."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
