"Making Stereo Fit&nbsp;reveals the fascinating long history of surround sound in American cinema. Making a major contribution to histories of film sound, Eric Dienstfrey’s elegant synthesis of his meticulous research establishes how the dynamic tension of innovation and fit to norms has been central to film sound design from the early sound period to the present."—Helen Hanson, author of&nbsp;Hollywood Soundscapes: Film Sound Style, Craft and Production in the Classical Era "Combining archival research with descriptive acoustic analysis—all while embedded in a context of U.S. film technologies in economic flux—Dienstfrey provides a compelling guide to the historic innovations and creative reinventions that have come to define the art, aesthetics, and science of cinema sound."—Miranda Banks, author of&nbsp;The Writers: A History of American Screenwriters and Their Guild "A deeply researched history of technological decision-making that offers rich and provocative reconsiderations of important films, this outstanding book will shape many future conversations about the development of stereophonic expression and cinematic sound. More than any book in recent memory, Making Stereo Fit explains how movies came to sound the way they do."—Neil Verma, author of&nbsp;Theater of the Mind: Imagination, Aesthetics, and American Radio Drama "Making Stereo Fit&nbsp;illuminates the possibilities and challenges that three-dimensional sound presented to inventors, filmmakers, studios, exhibitors, and audiences.&nbsp;Dienstfrey’s absorbing history&nbsp;makes audible the industrial, economic, and aesthetic forces that shaped—and limited—stereo’s dynamic role in film history."—Nathan Platte, author of Making Music in Selznick’s Hollywood

Surround sound is often mistaken as a relatively new phenomenon in cinemas, one that emerged in the 1970s with the arrival of Dolby. Making Stereo Fit reveals that, in fact, filmmakers have been creating stereo and surround-sound effects for nearly a century, since the advent of talking pictures, and argues that their endurance owes primarily to the longstanding battles between stereo and mono technologies. Throughout the book, Eric Dienstfrey analyzes newly discovered archival materials and myriad stereo releases, from Hell’s Angels (1930) to Get Out (2017), to show how Hollywood’s financial dependence on mono prevented filmmakers from seeing surround sound’s full aesthetic potential. Though studios initially explored stereo’s unique capabilities, Dienstfrey details how filmmakers eventually codified a conservative set of surround-sound techniques that prevail today, despite the arrival of more immersive&nbsp;formats.

The History of a Disquieting Film Technology

Making Stereo Fit

"In these interwoven essays on the many shades of sonic encounter, Michael Heller invites us to take a soundwalk at the outer edges of the aural. Escorting us through a carefully curated set of case studies, he demonstrates that the way we listen is forged by much more than our ears alone. This provocative book tracks the subtle ways that listening involves the entire body as well as a haze of associations and expectations that drift through all the spaces—from the opera to the composer’s archive, from the corporate vault to the anechoic chamber—that shape our interactions with the universe of sound."–Brent Hayes Edwards, author of Epistrophies: Jazz and the Literary Imagination "Just Beyond Listening’s extraordinary and sensitive engagements with sonic histories and practices gently encourage the reader to listen to each case study within the larger network of encounter. Heller’s auto-ethnographic voice quietly contemplates the sound of power and privilege, bringing forth&nbsp;fortissimo&nbsp;and muted stories from the archives. A beautiful work."–Ellie M. Hisama, Dean of the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto "An utterly unique and compelling work that grapples with complex ideas in an engaging, thoroughly readable, and highly teachable style. Heller’s engagement of affect in relation to sound is a major contribution to sound studies, while at the same time furthering a situated, corporeal, and resonant theory of affect–an exciting contribution to the study of twentieth&nbsp;and twenty-first&nbsp;century music and sound."–Marina Peterson, author of&nbsp;Atmospheric Noise: The Indefinite Urbanism of Los Angeles "In a moment when sound studies is deepening its understanding of 'sound' to engage the unheard, the barely audible, and the aurally refused, Michael Heller's&nbsp;Just Beyond Listening&nbsp;offers a gripping collection of case studies that move the disciplinary conversation forward. Heller is two things perhaps above all: a thorough researcher and a gifted, reflexive writer. He has created an accessible book that leads the reader through rich and provocative sonic territory."–Benjamin Tausig, author of&nbsp;Bangkok Is Ringing: Sound, Protest, and Constraint

Just Beyond Listening asks how we might think about encounters with sound that complicate standard accounts of aurality. In a series of essays, Michael C. Heller considers how sound functions in dialogue with a range of sensory and affective modalities, including physical co-presence, textual interference, and spectral haunting. The text investigates sound that is experienced in other parts of the body, altered by cross-wirings of the senses, weaponized by the military, or mediated and changed by cultural practices and memory. Building on recent scholarship in sound studies and affect theory, Heller questions not only how sound propagates acoustically but how sonic presences temper our total experience of the world around us.

“A significant and energizing piece of scholarship, brimming with lively prose, engaging diagrams, and thorough (and thoroughly ingenious!) case studies.&nbsp;Táhirih Motazedian's study presents us with a provocative new perspective in the rapidly growing discourse of film music studies, argued with verve. You won't listen to a movie soundtrack the same after reading this."—Frank Lehman, author of&nbsp;Hollywood Harmony: Musical Wonder and the Sound of Cinema “A groundbreaking achievement in film-music scholarship, rendered in clear, concise,&nbsp;and engaging language that is accessible even to those unfamiliar with the field.&nbsp;Key Constellations&nbsp;makes a convincing argument that tonal plans do exist in films, supported with many examples drawn from popular contemporary films. This will be a definitive work on the topic of tonal coherence in film.”—Ron Rodman, author of&nbsp;Tuning In: American Narrative Television Music “A focus on one musical pitch over others pervades soundtracks: from sustained drones in the underscore&nbsp;to pop songs in a key&nbsp;to clear-toned sound effects. With&nbsp;her expert and creative hands, Motazedian has compressed and shaped this raw ubiquitous substrate into an array of sparkling analytical jewels that enlighten our understanding and appreciation of screen media.”—Scott Murphy, editor of&nbsp;Brahms and the Shaping of Time

Key is one of the simplest building blocks of music&nbsp;and is among the foundational properties of a work’s musical identity—so why isn’t it&nbsp;a standard parameter in discussing film music? Key Constellations: Interpreting Tonality in Film is the first book to investigate film soundtracks—including original scoring, preexisting music, and sound effects—through the lens of large-scale tonality. Exploring compelling analytical examples from numerous popular films, Táhirih Motazedian shows how key and pitch analysis of film music can reveal hidden layers of narrative meaning, giving readers exciting new ways to engage with their favorite films and soundtracks.

"There is no such thing as a voice without an accent, yet theories of voice ranging from philosophy to media studies to machine learning still treat accents as the exception rather than the rule.&nbsp;Thinking with an Accent&nbsp;teaches us how to begin from accented voices and&nbsp;provides a&nbsp;panoply of tools for imagining, working with, building on, analyzing, and desiring accents."—Jonathan Sterne, author of&nbsp;Diminished Faculties: A&nbsp;Political Phenomenology of Impairment "Thinking with an Accent&nbsp;is a creative and ambitious multidisciplinary collection of essays that clearly captures the academic and popular zeitgeist about race, listening, and power. Together, these essays advance our theoretical understandings of accent as methodology, accent as epistemology, and accent, in general, as a multifaceted cultural source of wealth.&nbsp;Thinking with an Accent&nbsp;encourages scholars and the public alike to reconsider our own accented lives and how they work to structure our social, digital, and literary worlds. I already consider it to be an essential book."—Dolores Inés Casillas, author of&nbsp;Sounds of Belonging: U.S. Spanish-Language Radio and Public Advocacy "This book teaches us that the accent must be understood not as an ontological reality but as a co-constituted happening between bodies, people, objects, and space. The result is that the reader learns to think freely about accent, and accent becomes something to think with, not just to study. Straightforward, well argued, and a pleasure to read."—Kareem&nbsp;Khubchandani, author of&nbsp;Ishtyle:&nbsp;Accenting Gay Indian Nightlife "This is, without a doubt, a very timely study, given how accent increasingly intersects with migration policy, employment, culture, digital technologies, and (identity) politics. The chapters illustrate the complexities of accent, at both personal and structural levels, and testify to accent's role in negotiations of power and desire.&nbsp;The collection does very important work and is likely to set an important agenda for how accent is studied and taught in the future."—Jennifer O'Meara, author of&nbsp;Women's Voices in Digital Media:&nbsp;The Sonic&nbsp;Screen from Film to Meme "This work is fascinating and extremely valuable, brought to life through multiple case studies and contexts. The collection gives space to difference, alterity, intersectionality, and marginalization through nuanced&nbsp;thinking&nbsp;that also works to question and destabilize subject positions, labels, and constructs."—Tessa Dwyer, author of&nbsp;Speaking in Subtitles: Revaluing Screen Translation

Everyone speaks with an accent, but what is an accent?&nbsp;Thinking with an Accent&nbsp;introduces accent as a powerfully coded yet underexplored mode of perception that includes looking, listening, acting, reading, and thinking. This volume convenes scholars of media, literature, education, law, language, and sound to theorize accent as an object of inquiry, an interdisciplinary method, and an embodied practice. Accent does more than just denote identity: from algorithmic bias and corporate pedagogy to migratory poetics and the politics of comparison, accent mediates global economies of discrimination and desire. Accents happen between bodies and media. They negotiate power and invite attunement.&nbsp;These essays invite the reader to&nbsp;think with an accent—to practice a dialogical and multimodal inquiry that can yield transformative modalities of knowledge, action, and care.

Thinking with an Accent

"Arrangers are the hidden heroes of popular music, and this is their story, told by a pop musicologist as comfortable with orchestral charts as the Billboard charts. John Howland’s deft delineation of the swanky sounds that link symphonic jazz, mood music, easy listening, adult contemporary, baroque pop, soft rock, orchestral soul, and aspirational hip-hop is masterful and full of wit. Mix yourself a dry martini, put on your headphones and your best reading glasses, and enter the lush world of luxe pop!"—Robert Fink, author of Repeating Ourselves: American Minimal Music as Cultural Practice "Howland presents an important counternarrative to both rock and jazz scholars whose investment in a kind of stylistic/ideological purity has obscured the continuities between traditions. These throughlines, including this 'damnably American' luxe style, often operate at the margins of emerging canons but at the center of popular experience."—Robynn Stilwell, author of S-Town and the Art of Podcast Music "A one-of-a-kind guided tour through a kaleidoscopic musical landscape, where pop music—from the Great American Songbook to hip-hop—assumes the high-class sheen of the grand tradition. In this wonderful book, Howland ranges widely across the spectrum of high, middle, and lowbrow musical style and aesthetics, exploring the mysteries and miracles of musical hybridity in the American pop pageant."—Albin Zak, author of&nbsp;I Don’t Sound Like Nobody: Remaking Music in 1950s America &nbsp;

Hearing Luxe Pop explores a deluxe-production aesthetic that&nbsp;has long thrived in American popular music, in which popular-music idioms are merged with lush string orchestrations and big-band instrumentation. John Howland presents an alternative music history that centers on shifts in timbre and sound through innovative uses of orchestration and arranging, traveling from symphonic jazz to the Great American Songbook, the teenage symphonies of Motown to the “countrypolitan” sound of Nashville, the sunshine pop of the Beach Boys to the blending of soul and funk into 1970s disco, and Jay-Z’s hip-hop-orchestra events to indie rock bands performing with the Brooklyn Philharmonic. This book attunes readers to hear the discourses gathered around the music and its associated images as it examines pop’s relations to aspirational consumer culture, theatricality, sophistication, cosmopolitanism, and glamorous lifestyles.

The 20th anniversary edition of Kinder's bestselling dramatic story of shipwreck and treasure lost and found features a new chapter in deep-sea technology.

The 20th-anniversary edition of Gary Kinder's bestselling dramatic story of shipwreck, treasure lost and found, and a new chapter in deep-sea technologyFrom bestselling author Gary Kinder, Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea is a “ripping true tale of danger and discovery at sea” (Washington Post), newly updated for this special 20th-anniversary edition. In September 1857, the SS Central America, a steamer carrying nearly six hundred passengers returning from the California Gold Rush, was caught in a hurricane two hundred miles off the Carolina coast. Despite the heroic efforts of the captain and his crew, the ship, over four hundred lives, and twenty-one tons of California gold were lost. It remains the worst peacetime disaster at sea in American history. Combining historical adventure and scientific discovery, Gary Kinder re-creates the ill-fated voyage, and then tells the story of Tommy Thompson, a young engineer from Ohio who, in the 1980s, set out to be the first ever to work on the bottom of the deep ocean. As the target for his impossible quest, Thompson chose the wrecksite and fabled treasure of the Central America. Kinder chronicles Thompson’s epic battles with naysayers, violent weather, experimental technology, the harsh environment of the deep ocean, and unscrupulous rival treasure hunters. The result is an extraordinary narrative of human drama, heroic rescue, scientific ingenuity, and individual courage.
