But at its core, “Pedro Páramo” is a tale of two journeys, or perhaps one journey that unfolds into two.
The narrator, Juan Preciado, goes to his parents’ hometown after his mother dies, seeking his long-estranged father, Pedro Páramo.
If where and when we are in “Pedro Páramo” is constantly shifting, then sound is the swift and sinuous vehicle that carries us through it.
(It was a fun experiment, and we shared the results with the sound designers of a forthcoming “Pedro Páramo” film.
They wrote back to say they were inspired by our sound lists and wanted to credit the students.)
