walter murch

what I think is most interesting about Walter Murch's piece is his theory that how we process sound as adults goes all the way back to what sounds we were experiencing in the womb. I never really though before about the process of a baby realizing that sounds and sights/feelings go together, and this general idea gives film sound new meaning and depth. while Murch's language is flowery and poetic, showing the artistry and raw connection humans have to sound, he touches on its importance in a scientific way as well.  I was extremely confused at his diagram of the "colors" of sound like dialogue and music, but felt it easier to grasp upon the second reading. his wordiness here made it much more of a challenge to understand what he was explaining.
