*If the eye is entirely won, give nothing or almost nothing to the ear…and
vice versa, if the ear is entirely won, give nothing to the eye. One can
not be at the same time all eye and all ear.* – Robert Bresson, *Notes on
Cinematography*
This episode of Zepelim sets out to make the eye impatient by presenting
the sounds of non-dialogue scenes edited from 10 Manoel de Oliveira films.
The goal is to explore the rich auditory dynamics of Oliveira’s
non-dialogue scenes.  The sounds presented in this collage are not
organized according to the films’ chronology or storylines.  Rather, they
are grouped as much as possible according to other properties like volume,
pitch, and intensity of the samples as well as by common themes like
footsteps, motors roaring, wind blowing, characters breathing, wood
creaking, etc.  In the context of radio, these sounds become the focal
point  while unique new visual layers are free to form in the listener’s
imagination.
