A brief theoretical introduction on the basis of the seminar reading reveals to us the concept of acousmatics, AltGr. ἅκουσματικοι = "Those participating in the hearing. In preparation, we have in the weeks vergangegen The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (F. Lang, D 1933) considered that presents us with a acousmatics par excellence.
The concept of acousmatics by Michel Chion can be in terms of 2001 apply to HAL 9000: he is the omnipresent, omnipotent, disembodied voice which by their "de-acoumatization" (Dave's admission to "Logic Memory Center") any loses power.
are actually only 42 min of 160 filled with dialogues, which are characterized also by remarkably banal content. In the vacuum of space, consequently, there is silence, except the conversation between HAL and the locked-out Dave. In contrast to this minimalist silence the sometimes very pompous background music, such as by "The Blue Danube" or "Thus Spake Zarathustra." In the use of existing songs instead of a (at that time customary for decades) for the film composed soundtracks, engages negative in 2001 to a practice of the early silent film. Partly because this is often interpreted as primitive and arbitrary dealing with music Kubrick was criticized after the first performances of 2001 you.
After viewing some scenes, some with alternative soundtrack (in comparison to the idiosyncratic soundtrack final miss much of 2001 in effect will), we dedicate ourselves to the final "death" of HAL 9000th In this scene we see a testament to Kubrick's meticulous research: The children's song "Daisy Bell", the HAL - thrown back into its first hour - singing the first song sang a computer-generated voice. Because of the frequency of vowels, it seemed particularly appropriate for it to IBM in 1961 (!) 7094 to teach.
