The Tufts Department of Music and Tufts Film and Media Studies program presents a talk with author Giorgio Biancorosso about his 2024 book “Remixing Wong Kar Wai: Music, Bricolage, and the Aesthetics of Oblivion.” The book is a poetic, wide-ranging evocation of cult filmmaker Wong Kar-wai’s modus operandi. Dubbed once the “best ear in the industry,” Wong Kar-wai crafts the soundtracks of his films by jettisoning original scores in favor of commercial recordings. Remixing Wong Kar-wai examines the combinatorial practice at the heart of Wong’s cinema to retheorize musical borrowing, appropriation, and repurposing in Hong Kong cinema and beyond. In this talk, Biancorosso — professor of music at Hong Kong University — will discuss the ways in which we can restore listening to the center of film studies, and oblivion to that of culture. Free and open to the community.
