1. Sound, Music, and the Moving Image
Institute of Musical Research, Senate House, University of London, 10-12 September 2007
Call for papers, compositions, and round table discussions
The conference theme is 'Sound, Music and the Moving Image', and we intend this in the broadest possible sense. Bringing together practitioners and scholars from various disciplines, the conference will provide the opportunity to reflect on and challenge prevailing approaches to the sound/music and moving image relationship, and also to propose new directions in this dynamic field. We hope that submissions will reflect work being carried out in the widest variety of musical traditions, cultural contexts, and methodological approaches.
The conference will take place between Monday 10th and Wednesday 12th September 2007 at Senate House, London, United Kingdom.
Keynote addresses will be provided by Professor Anahid Kassabian (University of Liverpool) and Professor Richard Dyer (Kings College, London).
There will also be a keynote interview and composition masterclass with Academy Award nominee Dario Marianelli (Pride and Prejudice, V for Vendetta). Further details about entry for the composition masterclass appear below.
