A great collection of clips of Zora Neale Hurston singing in the 1930s: http://t.co/J6zRz45UqH

notice the double drone here: a steady background drone and the "death ray" sound #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

at this point, going back to the music has a kind of surreal effect #30sclass

"hardly mr. phillips" "its a coincidence" #realness #30sclass #nobigdealguys

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

the interruptions keep getting more and more frequent, but we keep going back to the music! definitely a calculated technique #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

"someone's just passed me a note...may i read it?" #realness #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

recognize the voice? it's welles himself #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

@ChloeAlex06 i think he's trying to convey "journalistic composure"? #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

this ticking sound is such a brilliant use of audio to create anxiety/suspense #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

note the key role of the commentator, that is, the journalis who can describe things visually #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

"noted astronomer" #credentials! #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

this music has a sort of uncanny quality: slinky, swanky, jaunty, sort of menacing, especially as the "breaking news" gets crazier #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

imagine listeners who tuned in now or following (folks who missed the initial intro material) #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

this an example of 30s "sweet music" #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

now we're about to shift into the "simulated reality" dimension #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

how great is orson welles' voice? so nuanced and suave #30sclass

[Prof John Harkey @DocHarkey]

b'cast begins w/ a pretty formal intro/explanation; also, this 3rd person narration wouldn't have fooled anyone #30sclass
