Schwartz's book challenges this definition by exploring the unheard sonic dimension of these ostensibly 'silent' films. In doing so, it epxands the definition of the city symphony to accommodate a greater variety of artistic and distinctly sonic practices. These include performances like Arseny Arvraamov's 1922 Symphony of Sirens - a mass spectacle that attempted a 'live' re-enactment of the October Revolution in the streets of Baku, Azerbaijan - and Walter Ruttmann's Weekend (1930), an experimental radio work that sought to create a virtual polis on the airwaves. Through an interdisciplinary exploration of such works, this book develops an account of the audial techniques that constitute the city symphony as a sounding order - a syn-phonia - of the heterogeenous and oftentimes conflicting spaces of urban environments. Schwartz examines how city symphonies across media register, capture, or represent urban sounds; the role city symphonies ascribe to sonic phenomena such as noise, vibration, and rhythm; and the listening practices in which city symphonies are embedded. The book thus aims to understand the role of sound in the city symphony as an intermedial phenomenon - on that manifests itself across media practices (music, mass spectacle, radio, and cinema), translates media products from one qualified medium into another (e.g., music into film, film into radio, and so on), or mixes media in novel ways."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a City symphonies (Motion pictures) 650 0 $a City symphonies (Motion pictures) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Sound in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Sound motion pictures. 650 0 $a City sounds. 650 0 $a Cities and towns in motion pictures. 650 0 $a City and town life in motion pictures. 650 7 $a Cities and towns in motion pictures $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861867 650 7 $a City and town life in motion pictures $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862099 650 7 $a City sounds $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862295 650 7 $a City symphonies (Motion pictures) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862296 650 7 $a Sound in motion pictures $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904742 650 7 $a Sound motion pictures $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127008 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Schwartz, Daniel P.
