Thinking Between Art and Philosophy(I)

SPEAKER:  Hsuan-Hung Chou (Independent composer)

TOPIC: The Audiovisual Tug-of-War in the Subconscious: How Film Music Hijacks Our Sensory Anticipation

TIME:   September 23 (Wednesday) 16:00-18:00

VENUE: 2F, 360 University House

From the practical perspective of a film composer, this lecture explores how music influences the audience's subconscious through hearing. By breaking down the interactions among musical symbols, visual images, and brain responses, we will discuss how hearing rewrites our interpretation of a scene and reshapes our sensory anticipation of the upcoming plot while our eyes are focused on the screen.
