Focusing on the formal organisation of sound in the American crime drama, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the presentation will address the various aspects of ‘sound’ – voice, sound effects, ambient sound and music – orchestrated within the programme. This formal analysis will then be linked to the spiritual or religious associations of ‘sound’ and hearing, which could suggest that the lead investigator's increasing deafness over seasons one to three of the programme acts not only as a mechanical problem in relation to solving crime but as a spiritual or religious crisis for the character and for the series itself. Admission: Free Information: Cultural Development Office at the Coleraine campus on (028) 7032 4449 or j.mackle@ulster.ac.uk Wednesday 14th March 10.00am - 5.00pm, School of Art & Design, Belfast campus Workshop/Demonstration Advanced Textile Patterning Techniques: Metamorphosis of Materials This is the second in a series of specialist workshops/demonstrations in Advanced Textile Patterning Techniques.
