“I need to go someplace faraway that doesn't have telephones and doesn't have a record player and doesn't have movie theaters and people walking down the street in order to not do anything.” PeopleNeedsOrderRecordsPlayerStreetsWalkingTheaterTelephonesMovie TheaterRecord Players Author:Will Oldham
“My favorite term for a new kind of performance is "security theater." In this genre, we watch as ritualized inspections and patdowns create the illusion of security. It's a form that has become common since 9/11, and even the government agencies that participate in this activity acknowledge,off the record, that it is indeed a species of theater.” KindGovernmentFormTermCommonWatchesRecordsSecurityActivityIllusionPerformancesTheaterSpeciesMy FavoriteGenreAcknowledgeAgencyInspectionGovernment Agencies Book:How Music Works Source: How Music Works
“When you're writing for theater or TV, it's open-ended in scope. You can write 10 separate pieces that are really effective but have no place on a rock record or whatever.” WritingRecordsPiecesRocksTvsTheaterScope Author:John Parish
“It takes a little more time to get into the role, but not very much more. In making a record you don't have the sense of projection over a distance as in an opera house. We have this microphone and this magnifies all details of a performance, all exaggerations. In the theater, you can get away with a very large, very grand phrase. For the microphone, you have to tone it down. It's the same as making a film, your gestures will be seen in close-up, so they cannot be exaggerated as they would be in a theater.” LittlesWould BeFilmHouseRolesRecordsPerformancesTheaterDistanceDetailsPhrasesToneGet AwayMore TimeOperaGesturesProjectionExaggerationExaggeratedMicrophonesOpera House Author:Maria Callas
“If I had the money, I would love to open up a movie theater that just played images and colors and beautiful music. For me, there's nothing like listening to a beautiful opera sometimes - on a record or seeing it live - just to be sleepy and let those beautiful voices take me somewhere I've never been before.” IfsSometimesBeautifulVoiceRecordsSeeingColorListeningTheaterTake MeOperaSleepyMovie TheaterBeautiful MusicBeautiful Voice Author:Peter Stormare
“The relationship with actor and director is probably closer to theater, in that, when we record the dialogue, there is very little in the way of the creative collaboration - no cameras, lighting or even locations. Then, once we record, the post process is very similar to the post flow in filmmaking - editing, sound design, mixing, etc. At the end of the day, it's all about storytelling and honing in on a tone by developing a rhythm and structure that suits the storytelling.” WayLittlesEndsActorsProcessSoundCreativeRecordsDesignDirectorsFlowTheaterCamerasStructureDialogueStorytellingSuitsRhythmDevelopingPostsToneThe End Of The DayEtcCollaborationFilmmakingEditingLocationLightingMixingHoningSound DesignCreative Collaboration Author:Glenn McQuaid
