The journal's «dossier» section, edited by Jacob Smith, is as wide - ranging as ever, with (among many others) Michel Chion exploring a phone conversation in The Player; Mack Hagood on the
audio cue he calls the «tinnitus trope» (and for which I would never have guessed we have Arthur Hiller to thank); Jean Ma on a song from an early Chinese sound film
whose soundtrack has been lost, and has thus reverted to silence; and Keir Keightley on some deliberately disastrous, «schizophrenic» lipsynching in Lewis's The Patsy.
In this roundtable discussion on composing for downloadable games, he is joined by Module (Jeramiah Ross),
whose soundtrack to Shatter by Sidhe is in the running for an IGF
audio award at this year's Game Developers Conference.
