Generally speaking, an acousmatic voice is a voice where the speaker cannot be seen, as in the case of the telephone conversation or of the radio speaker. The acousmatic voice being the voice without a body or, a body consisting of sound alone is at the same time \u00e2\u20ac\u02dca body without organs\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 to use the phrase of Gilles Deleuze, who insists that \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcthe body without organs\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 is not just to be understood as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153radiophonic\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, but \u00e2\u20ac\u0153as a plateau in communication \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 a component of passage.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 19.5px; line-height: 28.5px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lislegaard.com\/texts.php?id=17\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.lislegaard.com\/texts.php?id=17<\/a><\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-size: 19.5px; line-height: 28.5px;\">\n<li style=\"font-size: 19.5px; line-height: 28.5px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica;\">Acousm<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00c3\u00aa<\/span>tre &#8211; a kind of voice-character specific to cinema that derives mysterious powers from being heard and not seen.
