Call for papers : Music & The Moving Image (USA, NY, June 1-3, 2012)

CALL FOR PAPERS


The annual conference, Music and the Moving Image, encourages submissions from scholars and practitioners that explore the relationship between music, sound, and the entire universe of moving images (film, television, video games, iPod, computer, and interactive performances) through paper presentations.


This year’s conference will include practitioner roundtables on "Songs in Film," featuring leading music supervisors and chaired by Grammy-nominated NYU Songwriter-in-Residence, Phil Galdston (Save the Best for Last). We also encourage abstract submissions on "Songs in Film" for panels. We will present our second year of panels dedicated to papers on Film Music Pedagogy chaired by Philip Tagg and Ron Sadoff, and we invite those who teach within film, media, and/or music curricula to submit abstracts about applying particular theoretical approaches to the practice of teaching soundtracks. Streaming video of the presentations will be available only at NYU from June 1-11, 2012.


The Program Committee includes Roberto.Calabretto (Lo schermo sonoro. La musica per film); Jeongwon Joe (Wagner and Cinema; Between Opera and Cinema); Philip Tagg (Kojak: 50 Seconds of Television Music; Ten Little Title Tunes); Emile Wennekes (Chair of the Music and Media Study Group of the International Musicological Society); and coeditors of Music and the Moving Image, Gillian B. Anderson (Haexan; Pandora’s Box; Music for Silent Film 1892-1929: A Guide); and NYU faculty, Ron Sadoff (The Moon and the Son: An Imagined Conversation; Chuck Jones: Memories of Childhood).
