While the Volume 1138 edition celebrates sci-fi and Georges Méliès' A Trip to the Moon, the number itself calls to mind the George Lucas/Walter Murch joint THX 1138.

Changing the order in which you do things. —Brian Eno, Oblique Strategies

This sounds like the sort of shift Walter Murch made in his sound editing by doing his first cut completely without sound. If you can't tell the story visually without sound the whole thing will fall apart. But you can use the sound, music, etc. to supplement, gild, and improve a picture.

I'm reminded of how Academy Award winning film editor Walter Murch once told me that his first edit of a feature film was always done without any sound at all. If the motions and actions of the actors could communicate as much meaning as possible, then the spoken words would only help to supplement the storytelling.
