Music and the Moving Image IX
Conference at NYU Steinhardt, May 30, 2014 – June 1, 2014

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 a keynote speech by the film
orchestrator Patrick Russ (King Kong, Far From Heaven) and we invite
abstracts that focus on the role and function of orchestration. The Program
Committee includes Patrick Russ, Elizabeth Weis (Film Sound: Theory and
Practice, The Silent Scream: Alfred Hitchcock's Sound Track), Philip Carli
(Synergy in America's Early Talking Machine Industry and original
orchestral scores for Captain Salvation [1925; Turner, 2005], Stella Maris
[1918; Milestone, 1998]), and coeditors of Music and the Moving Image,
Gillian B. Anderson (Haexan; Pandora’s Box; Composing for the Cinema, 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).
The conference will run a few days before the NYU/ASCAP Film Scoring
Workshop in Memory of Buddy Baker (June 4 – 13, 2014).
