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

 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.
