Soundhunters
54th New York Film Festival
September 30 - 11, 2016
Long before Lawrence Lessig, Austin Kleon, and Malcolm Gladwell each dubbed this the Age of the Remix, T. S. Eliot wrote, “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.” In this immersive experience, the audience makes music by recording and remixing the sounds of the world around them.
On view in the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center on October 1 and 2.
Long before Lawrence Lessig, Austin Kleon, and Malcolm Gladwell each dubbed this the Age of the Remix, T. S. Eliot wrote, “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.” With Soundhunters, the audience makes music by recording and remixing the sounds of the world around them. Created by François Le Gall and Nicolas Blies, this multifaceted project does more than make music from the audio of everyday life; each uploaded sound is a window onto its author’s world, and every song created by the Sound Hunter community is as much a remix of distinctive life experiences as of unique audio elements.
On view in the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center on October 1 and 2.
Catch an in-depth look at this international transmedia experience at our free Meet the Makers talk on October 1.
