Now if you can take a famous silent movie and turn it into a talking picture. I believe that is the future.

@@RobertFells I am somebody and after 1930 with few exceptions all movies are talkies. With AI there is the possibility to take pre 1930 movies, clean them up, correct the speed, colorize, add or delete sound, and possibly add voice to the actors. When watching a silent movie in most cases you can see the speaking. My opinion but it would be great to hear them. I've been watch some early silent movies lately that have no sound at all, no music. And I can tell you just having some music greatly enhances the experience.

I was making a joke. That said, silent films were consciously made without using or wanting to use dialogue. Much like ballets are created without the need to have the dancers sing or talk as they dance. To add spoken dialogue to a silent film is to dishonor the intentions of the filmmakers. Can we do that technically? Yes. Should we? No.

@@RobertFells I watched a documentary on early films and it did say the technology for talking films while experimental was possible around 1920. The movie studios rejected it for the reason that they felt they would lose their world market. It was very easy to put the subtitle cards in with any language that was needed. Around 1929/ 1930 once one major studio adopted talking pictures all the other studio's followed as they took a chance of losing money. Harold Loyd made a silent movie around 1929 and after watching a talking picture quickly remade the movie as a talking picture. I like how you used AI to get Harry Carey to speak.

I so regret that Rosa Ponselle didn't get to sing Adriana Lecouvreur as the role would have been engrossing for her and helped her to move on from the tough time she had with the critics over Carmen. Adrianna is not a particularly high tessitura so any worry she had about high notes would have settled down I am sure. I understand that a former production of Adrianna hadn't been good at the box office at The Met , but Ponselle was still capable of selling out the house. Its a pity the management did not go along with this idea.
@RobertFells 10 күн бұрын
Offhand, would you happen to know if Rosa recorded anything from Adriana Lecouvreur? I have James Drake's excellent bio of her so I'll probably find any reference to such recordings in there. We should not overlook radio performances either.

@RobertFells My mother and grandmother heard her live several times in Pittsburgh. Both were fine singers themselves and consummate musicians. Both heard the best of the 20th century live over the years in NY and Pittsburgh and, to them, NO ONE equalled Ponselle. No one. My mother described her singing as "almost too beautiful to stand." I never doubted it was true. If these primitive recordings show Ponselle to be the greatest, what must in person have been like?

Rosa made quite a number of electrical recordings that are available. Look for any recording that was made in 1925 and thereafter. That was the begining of the electrical recording era.

One of five recordings he made on April 6, 1914, this was one of his most popular. Listening to the recording is wonderful, but to "see" him sing it through this marvelous AI creation seems almost other-wordly.
@jimdrake-writer Ай бұрын
If the Victor files for April 6, 1914 weren't accessible online, I would have guessed that this was a test recording to determine how much playing time the actual record would require. The tempo is rather fast, McCormack sings the much of the first half in only two or three breaths for the entire song, and his singing is devoid of mezza-voce high tones. Perhaps the fact that this was one of five Victor recordings he made that day necessitated a faster tempo and more straightforward phrasing. As always, his voice is indescribably beautiful, and "seeing" his portrait come to life through AI is magical.

I have long had a theory about this recording. McC was late for an appointment so he rushed through it. But the "test recording" theory is perhaps the better explanation.

@: It could have been his mood. He was known to be argumentative and cantankerous, so perhaps he wished that the didn't have to make any recordings that day. This was the only one that seemed rushed, at least to my ears.

@@jimdrake-writer I resampled this recording and eked out a few extra seconds, but the timing was still way under anybody else's who sang it. I was hoping to make a "virtual duet" out of it, but McC's phrasing was too rushed to match it up with any other singer.

This is one of three hit songs written by Herman Hupfeld, "he of the robust frame and florid Germanic features," as Rudy Vallee described him. He became so associated with Vallee that Hupfeld's ASCAP colleagues called him "Rudy's Writer." Vallee introduced the song by its copyrighted title, "Let's Turn Out the Lights and Go To Bed," during his appearances at the Atlantic City Steel Pier, where the audience reactions were so positive that he planned to introduce it on his popular radio show "The Fleishmann Hour." About ten minutes before airtime, Vallee was told by NBC censors, "Either you take out the word 'bed' or we can't use the song." Vallee changed "bed" to "sleep" and gave Herman Hupfeld a hit song. In turn, Hupfeld gave Vallee yet another hit with "When Yuba Plays the Rumba on the Tuba." His first song that Vallee had featured on the air and had recorded was "As Time Goes By." The song was not a hit at the time but became one when Vallee's 1931 disc was re-issued after the film "Casablanca" was released. The 1931 recording sold almost 350,000 copies although Vallee said in interviews, "I detest my rendition of it."
