D'Or que Landes (Fr Culture - 28 June 2011) Episode 2/5 - subs en.fr

This is a provisional file. The illustrative slideshow is still unfinished. Nevertheless the audio is all here. And it is a radio play after all (!). It is also all in French but don't worry; I have translated/subtitled it all.

Second episode of a radio serial.

THIS IS A FRENCH RADIO SERIAL. IF YOU DON'T MASTER THE LANGUAGE, STAY AWAY FROM IT. OR DON'T COMPLAIN AFTERWARDS ;) Well, okay, I've uploaded English subtitles (available in the caption menu). Hopefully that can help you with the comprehension.

The studio recording took place at the end of March 2011: Thursday 24, Friday 25, Monday 28, Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 March. The broadcast of this second episode on France Culture took place on Tuesday June 28, 2011, from 20.30 to 20.55.

This is the first radio recording I upload on YouTube. So I had to accompany it with an image because neither YouTube nor any social network that I know accepts to host pure audio. In order to save you from the horrors of an aquarium syndrome, I devised a little slideshow. Nothing very elaborate; and yet it cost me iconographic research work, not to mention the image synchronization work. But anyway I preferred to keep this added work as minimalist as possible. Because the important thing is still the audio.

In this regard, I would like to tell you that if this is the first time that you are listening to this serial - or even radio fiction a large - I would prefer that, for your first listening, you do not watch the image. This may seem paradoxical; I confess that I have gone to great lengths to make a slideshow, and now I advise you not to watch it, it's almost comical. But for a first listen, I cannot recommend you too much to put yourself back in the conditions of a radio listener. Choose a computer coupled with quality acoustic speakers that will restore the spatiality of phased stereophony. Phased stereo is the hallmark of major cultural radio stations when it comes to fiction. The distribution of voices in the sound space is the result of work on the acoustics of the studio and the restitution made by a couple of microphones arranged in the same phase as human binaural hearing. The stereo that you hear on music recordings in the studio has been electronically spatialized using the "pan" adjustment knobs. This is called amplitude stereo. It's audio-electronic cuisine, it's like a photo retouched by Photoshop. Phased stereo is like a photo that has not been touched up in natural light.
So sit back in your best chair after placing your speakers in such a way that they restore the soundscape to you in the best possible conditions and let your imagination give shape and form to what you hear.
Radio is not "cinema without an image" any more than silent cinema was an incomplete invention that lacked sound. It is an art in its own right.
Radio fiction is somehow to cinema what literature is to comics. It is a medium that does not use a graphically precise image because the image is generated in the imagination of the listener in the same way as it is in that of a reader of a novel or short story. Good listening to you all !
