News: Bio

Well... it has been a long time since i've updated my blog. But here it is!

I just came back to my home country, Switzerland, for a few weeks to do my little assignment for school.
I am working on this documentary about the Swiss Guards in Rome, Italy, called "Al Servizio Del Santo Padre" (Italian), which means "At the Service of the Saint Peter".
My friend, Franziska Karpf, has shot it and i am doing the audio editing to it. Strangely enough, this is the first time i am actually working on a Swiss project for a Swiss audience. Until today, all the works i have been doing are done in Singapore and only for a Singaporean audience. This is an interesting new experience for me and that is also the reason why my final research for my BA is going to be a comparison between Swiss and Singaporean audiences and their percpective on music background for documentaries, only.

The reason why i changed my hypothesis is simply because Franziska told me that they have deicded not to use any music in the background for their project. I was a bit surprise, but did not realise that it did make sense to not use any music at all, but the original ambient noise of the St. Peter's place in Rome, Italy. The effect is really different compared to Singaporean local documentaries, where music is being excessively used, in my opinion.

The reason why i have been asked to increase the volume (!) of the music background is still a mystery. Hence why, i am trying to understand those 2 different cultures' perception of music and art (maybe) by working with Franziska's project.

Right now, i need to write my little logbook and upload some stuff. I shall be back, when i got more to say.

Cheers! =)
