SOUND CONTINUUM
International Conference for Recording Arts and Archives In collaboration with CONCRETE
21/22/23 November 2009
Yokohama Campus 1F Hall, Graduate School of Film and New Media, Tokyo University of the Arts

The field of sound recording and sound design is relatively new and therefore has not been researched extensively within Asia. In the past, recording and designing sound were regarded as a subordination of music and cinema. In this conference we will discover and discuss the philosophical and creative aspects of sound design, rather than sound design as just a by product of music and cinema. We would also like to explore the possibility of broadening the understanding of sound recording and sound design by inviting participants from Europe who posses detailed knowledge in this field.
Concept
1: Exploring and interpreting the art of sound in film and new media.
2: Understanding the working process of artistic creation.
3: Exploring in depth new ideas for the relationship between sound and media.
