Download or read book Siren City written by Robert Miklitsch and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed for its dramatic expressionist visuals, film noir is one of the most prominent genres in Hollywood cinema. Yet, despite the "boom" in sound studies, the role of sonic effects and source music in classic American noir has not received the attention it deserves. Siren City engagingly illustrates how sound tracks in 1940s film noir are often just as compelling as the genre's vaunted graphics. Focusing on a wide range of celebrated and less well known films and offering an introductory discussion of film sound, Robert Miklitsch mobilizes the notion of audiovisuality to investigate period sound technologies such as the radio and jukebox, phonograph and Dictaphone, popular American music such as "hot" black jazz, and "big numbers" featuring iconic performers such as Lauren Bacall, Veronica Lake, and Rita Hayworth. Siren City resonates with the sounds and source music of classic American noir-gunshots and sirens, swing riffs and canaries. Along with the proverbial private eye and femme fatale, these audiovisuals are central to the noir aesthetic and one important reason the genre reverberates with audiences around the world.

Book excerpt: "Robert Miklitsch has convinced me. Sound and music in film noir are every bit as important as the visuals. Siren City drives home this argument with authority and elegance. Highly recommended."---Krin Gabbard, author of Hotter Than That: The Trumpet, Jazz, and American Culture --

Download or read book Siren's Silence written by Richard Quan and published by Q Vision Press & Multimedia. This book was released on 2006 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York City attorney Victor takes his Ukrainian-born former lover, Siren Myskina, for dead until he receives an unexpected phone call at work. Jolted by the voice from his past, Victor must unearth the true identity of the woman who had warned him to run when they made love for the first time. Siren's Silence portrays the tale of two young lovers whose relationship comes to an abrupt end shortly after their cross-country journey to Stillwater, Minnesota. Victor Frantiska - the handsome son of a four-star general - and Siren Myskina - a stunning mysterious green-eyed girl - are both freshmen at Duke when they first meet. Siren immediately captured Victor's heart. What strings their fate together is not Siren's beauty but her oddity of personality, a personality that spawns Victor's desperate attempts to root out the source of her elusiveness. This contemporary literary work, influenced by authors such as Thomas Wolfe and F. Scott Fitzgerald, weaves in lyrical elements to create a tapestry that narrates an intricate tale of love, lust, obsession and suspense that vividly reflects the reality of our time. It is for students, teachers, scholars, and avid readers of classic literary novels. The theme of this novel - love is war - serves as a reminder to all of us that love can bring peace, or it can bring terror, uncertainty, and unbearable pain.

The eclectic collection of stories is set in locations as varied as London, New York, Venice, Montreux ? and a remote and alien planet. Stories feature a cop battling crime and climate change in a dystopian future; a pressured Presidential adviser who devises a pragmatic solution to his problems; an ambitious go-getter unwilling to wait for the top prize; a womaniser whose pursuit of the opposite sex leads him to a sticky end; and an over-worked businessman haunted by a twenty-five year-old mystery.
