Music, Sound, and the
Moving Image
is the first international scholarly journal devoted to the study
of the interaction between music and sound with the entirety of moving image media
– film, television, music video, advertising, computer games, mixed-media
installation, digital art, live cinema, et alia.
Co-edited by Anahid Kassabian (University of Liverpool) and Ian
Gardiner (Goldsmiths College), the journal is truly interdisciplinary, inviting
contributions across a range of critical methodologies, including musicology
and music analysis, film studies, popular music studies, cultural theory,
aesthetics, semiotics, sociology, marketing, sound studies, and music
psychology.
It is hoped that the journal also will provide an important focus
for the similarly diverse and expanding community of media music scholars. The
journal is published twice a year, and its first issues were open, embracing
this diversity of topics and approaches. As it progresses it is intended that
themed issues, under a guest editor, will alternate with open issues, perhaps
encouraging writers to explore areas under-represented in current literature.
The editors welcome contributions offering the broadest interpretation
of the journal’s title, not only seeking to build upon the existing scholarship
on film music and film sound, but also to challenge its theoretical
assumptions, and to extend its boundaries to include the full variety of moving
image media and traditions.
