classic drone series

sound, sound design, music in film

film's ending where the viewer finds themselves in the ambiguous area between dream and reality. 

this slowly unfolds with the sounds of a clock, rain, footsteps, a horse-drawn carriage, and a cat. and is interrupted occasionally with dialogue (which here has been edited out).

rené longuet - sound engineer

pierre davoust - sound assistant

in addition, rené longuet and pierre davoust did sound for le samouraï

dear readers (if there are any readers left),

the humble administrator of the art of memory has moved to the fine city of new york (specifically brooklyn) and has decided to make a new attempt at working through this website.

thanks for inspiration from danny at mubi.  i will try to make entries for as many filmic and sonic inspirations as i can find here (which are o the plenty).

i let the site go dormant in the past as i didn't think anyone was interested. in addition i got some complaints for putting up sound clips from films which was frankly quite offensive. hopefully there are some fellow pursuers of the light out there, and i will give it another go.

i started with some images i collected mostly around 2014-15 of trains. more to come....
