32 Sounds (★★★★☆) aims to unlock the power sound wields over our ears, bodies, and minds. Director Sam Green actually suggests in the film that a pair of good headphones are the best way to experience not only the designated disparate sounds, but the vast world of music, noise, nature, and silence the movie explores with verve and technical prowess.Inspired by the award-winning Thirty-Two Short Films About Glenn Gould, the film also wields a sentimental streak suiting Green’s message that sound connects us to the world.
It’s our first connection to the outside world from within the womb, he notes in voiceover, referencing a theory held by Oscar-winning sound designer Walter Murch, whose wife Aggie’s landmark recordings of womb sounds kick off the titular list.But it’s on the subject of death, rather than birth, that the film finds several compelling examples of sounds that stir emotions, starting with the mating call of a bird now extinct. The film encourages viewers to close their eyes and really listen to the recording of the male Moho braccatus, the very last of his species, warbling his song into a rain-soaked Hawaiian evening, unaware his call will never reach a mate.A curator at the British Library Sound Archive chooses that tragic Moho call, among the millions of items cataloged in the archive, as “the most sad recording you could ever have.” Notably, nearly all the scientists who appear in the film to elucidate the physics and biology of sound, or the engineering of sound recording and reproduction, also address the unfathomable ways that sound can make us feel things.In one sound-warping scene, Princeton scientist Edgar Choueiri leads Green in a lighthearted demonstration of binaural and spatial audio, shaking a

William Earl “Beyond adventure!” shouted M83 mastermind Anthony Gonzalez and keyboard player Kaela Sinclair, minutes into their first of two NYC shows at Terminal 5 on April 25. This mission statement is repeated several times in the debut single “Oceans Niagara” from their recently released ninth studio album, “Fantasy.” The sprawling record is the backbone of this tour, with the band running through 10 of the tracks during the evening, including a five-song run at the beginning as bold in tone and attack as anything in their deep catalogue. Even casual fans were rapt with attention as the band’s live sound is a roaring juxtaposition to its often dreamy studio fare. Lead singer and guitarist Gonzalez, the only permeant member of the group, is joined by Sinclair, multi-instrumentalist Joe Berry, guitarist Théophile Antolinos, drummer Julien Aoufi and bassist Clément Libes on this trek, cranking their amps up so loud that synths rained over the crowd, with fans’ bellies shaking from the bass. The group’s greatest live trick is bashing out huge chords in many of their songs’ outros, washing the audience in a deafening euphoria as the rhythm section stomped out a driving pulse.
