Joseph Hyde

practice-led research symposium, Bath Spa University (UK), 29th/30th October 2011

Following the announcement of this event a week ago, the website is now up:

We are now actively seeking submissions – papers, fixed-media works, performances and installations.

Seeing Sound 2 is an informal two-day symposium exploring multimedia work which foregrounds the relationship between sound and image. We aim to explore areas such as visual music, abstract cinema, experimental animation, audiovisual performance and installation work through paper sessions, screenings and performances.

This year will see a focus on direct sound - the generation of sound and music from visual material (by various techniques including images drawn or photographed on an optical film soundtrack). This practice is almost as old as sound cinema itself and has influenced the development of both electronic music and abstract cinema/visual music.

More information can be found on the site, and more will follow!
