For the opening credits of Casanova, Fellini wanted to have the music go faster. On the other hand, during the audio mixing of Ludwig, Visconti asked for the original pauses in Schumann\u2019s music to be restored. In L\u2019eclisse there was no music at all: Antonioni had his crew record several minutes of faint urban sounds in Rome\u2019s Eur district. These are just a few of the challenges that Federico Savina, an internationally renowned sound technician, has tackled over the course of his long career. This book chronicles the great adventure of an artisan of the recording room and the moviola, a life filled with traveling and memorable encounters: from Philippe Sarde\u2019s fussiness while working on Polanski\u2019s films to the recording of the well-known \u201cSean sean\u201d of Gi\u00f9 la testa, from Dario Argento\u2019s looks to the disagreements with Zeffirelli and the problems with the Italian audio mixing of Star Wars… Much of Savina\u2019s career was focused on cinema, but that wasn\u2019t all: we cannot forget his invention of the \u201cscopacordo\u201d with Marinuzzi, the search for the right noise for the guillotine in Rugantino, his partnership with Mina, his pioneering work as a Dolby consultant, and, last but not least, his dedication as a professor at the Centro Sperimentale, through which he passed on his priceless expertise in sound to entire generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
