Syndicate: The School of Sound |
THE SCHOOL OF SOUND THE SCHOOL OF SOUND, a four-day symposium exploring the use of sound with moving images, will be held in central London from the 16th - 19th April 1998. The Academy of Media Arts (KÅ¡ln) is helping us to promote this event by giving us your E-Mail address. Should you wish to receive further information and an application, contact us at Epesound@aol.com or telephone/fax +44 (0)171-586-3056. The symposium will take a comprehensive look at the structure and evolution of the modern soundtrack, investigating the creative processes which culminate in the synthesis between sound and the moving image. Aimed at producers, directors, writers, editors, composers, animators, multi-media artists and all those who suspect that the soundtrack can be infinitely more than merely a tedious post-production necessity, the School will present a rare amalgam of intellectual debate directly linked to the audio-visual and entertainment industries. In a programme of special sessions devoted to post-production, music composition, animation and multimedia, a panel of the most influential and inventive practitioners and educators in the business will explain their concepts for creating soundtracks.
