The study programme "Media-Composition and Applied Music"
was established in 1992 at the University of Music and Performing
Arts in Vienna under the direction of Prof. Klaus-Peter Sattler.
Until that time competent education in this field of study
had existed only in the USA. Now Vienna belongs worldwide to
the few institutions where musicians can acquire knowledge
and technical skills for a possible career in the field of
Media-Composition.
 
The University of Music and Performing Arts has planned an
International Symposium on the subject "Filmmusic and Sounddesign"
with internationally renowned participants, so that the newly
established study course for MediaComposition and
Applied Music would become known. Besides, the
Symposium should give students the rare chance of
experiencing outstanding personalities like David
Raksin, Norman "Buddy" Baker, Randy Thom, Norbert
Jurgen Schneider, Hans Ulrich Werner, Martin Homberg,
Rolf Moser and Hansjorg Pauli.
 
Prof. David Raksin was a student of Arnold Schonberg
and the musical assistant of Charlie Chaplin ("Modern
Times"). He composed the world-famous music for
the film "Laura", which has been interpreted countless
times by Frank Sinatra to Charlie Parker. Since 1952 he is
Professor at the University of Southern California in Los
Angeles.
 
Prof. Dr. Norman "Buddy" Baker was for 28 years
composer/Musical Director at Walt Disney Productions
and is also since several years Professor at the
University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
 
Just the presence of these two great men is a specially
lucky event, as they are living representatives of a great
historical era in American film production.
 
The other lecturers are:
 
Randy Thom, the leading sounddesigner at "Lucas Film"
and Oscar prize winner. Prof. Dr. Norbert Jurgen
Schneider, composer, author and state prize winner. Dr.
Hansjorg Pauli, author and film maker. Dr. Hans Ulrich
Werner, sounddesigner and director of the West German
Radio's studio for sounddesign.
Martin Homberg, lecturer of Music Realization at the
Music College in Cologne.
Dr. Rolf Moser, director of Bavaria Sonor, lawyer and guest-
professor at the College of Film and TV at Munich.
Klaus-Peter Sattler, composer and professor for Media-
Composition and Applied
Music at the University of Music and Performing Arts in
Vienna.
 
Such a constellation of lecutrers brought together at a
Symposium, makes it an exceptional event.
 
The lecturers will cover everything, from the early
roots,leading to the perspectives of film music in a
changing media landscape. PROJECT:

The aim of the Symposium is to reach students of
composition, film, recording engineers, music teachers,
psychologists, film makers, advertisement specialists,
musicologists etc.
 
With the film industry reaching almost a century since
its inception, the theme of filmmusic and sounddesign
should be examined in its theoretical as well as
practical aspects. The outstanding speakers at the
Symposium can give practical advice through discussions
at working groups. Here students can study how the actual
music was created and added to the film. How it affects
the story, the scenes, the colours and moods in the
film. Also future developments in the field of
audiovisual forms will be discussed.
