Screen Music & Sound Studies Online |
||||
Screen Music & Sound Studies OnlineSMSS Online is a web-based resource for researchers concerned with various aspects of music and sound in screen-based media (including film, video, DVD, games and other interactive forms). The resource was established by researchers from Macquarie University (Sydney) and Southern Cross University (Lismore) in 2008 to encourage and facilitate international cooperation and collaboration in screen music and sound studies. The facility is currently under development and suggestions and/or proposals for collaborations are welcome.
The Encyclopedia of Film Music and SoundThe Encyclopedia of Film Music and Sound is a 1.3 million word, two-volume work being prepared under the editorship of Dr Mark Evans (Macquarie University, Sydney) for publication by Equinox Press in 2012. The publication addresses various aspects of sound and music theory, analysis, history, production and representation. A dedicated Encyclopedia website is being established (and will be linked from this page when it goes online).
Genre, Music and SoundGenre, Music and Sound (edited by Mark Evans) addresses all areas of film sound across five separate genres: horror, animation, erotica, comedy and fantasy. While certain filmic genres, namely musicals and westerns, have received careful attention, other popularist genres have not been exposed to similar scrutiny. The volumes in this series highlight the centrality of sound in creating the very genre classifications widely used to market contemporary cinema. Through a combination of theoretical ruminations, historical surveys and key case studies, the nuances particular to the sound of each genre are thoroughly explored. Such analyses will lead to greater possibilities for comparative research across genres in the future.
