Call for Audio or Audiovisual works
Early Bird Registration Open

Bournemouth University, England, September 8-10, 2010

http://soundingout.bournemouth.ac.uk

The submission of papers and panels as well as audio/audiovisual works is invited for consideration.  The 2010 event aims to maintain and enhance the Sounding Out’s already impressive reputation as a major forum for discussion and interaction between practitioners, artists and academics working in the field of sound. For this year’s edition Keynote presentations will be given by a selection of internationally renowned artists and practitioners; Chris Chafe, Dirk Maggs, Jérôme Joy, Jonathan Harvey, Kaye Mortley, Larry Sider and Pedro Rebelo.

It may be useful if we list some of the themes, which we hope to explore in the conference; these are by no means prescriptive but are intended as a guide. We are planning to base the conference on the overall theme of  "Soundworlds - Sonic Arts, Film and Radio" including the following indicative subject areas, which will help us shape individual paper sessions and panels:

- e-Narratives
- Acoustic Ecology
- Audio histories
- Sound on Film
- Music as Narrative
- Sound and Music Worlds
- Radio Futures
- Interconnections
- SoundScapes
- Networks
- Sound
- Broadcast
- Geography
- Sense of place
- Sense of space

Papers and Panels


Proposals for both individual and panel presentations are welcome. Abstracts of 250 words (with accompanying biographical information of no more than one page) should be submitted electronically in PDF format or Word document by 1 June, 2010 to:
