SOUND AND IMAGE

Organised Sound has hitherto been principally concerned with the audio
arts.  However, we live in a rapidly changing world.  In particular, given
the relentless evolution of competent technology in the form of 'multimedia
systems' and the MPEG distributive media, it seems timely to explore the
relationship between the audio and visual spheres in the digital arts.  

Not to do so risks de facto acceptance of misguided dogma:  the supposed
predominance of the one medium over the other for instance.  Whilst people
have wrestled with these issues in the past, the imminent arrival of this
technology on a large scale into consumer markets creates new
opportunities, as well as an urgency to deal with aesthetic concerns:  What
are the compositional issues, given that we may be dealing with
audio-visual artefacts; what is the meaning of performance of such
artefacts; what tools exist or need to be developed for such composition
and performance; what is our experience of good (and bad) practice in this
field; what is our attitude to  new consumer 'products' which could be
distributed on an unprecedented scale over the Internet?  These are
examples of the aspects which we would like to explore in this issue of
'Organised Sound', especially in relation to our established sphere of
interest concerning electroacoustic music.

We welcome papers describing  installations, compositional, performance and
pedagogic approaches, environments, tools and artistic experience in this
field.  We also particularly welcome tutorial and student papers relating
to this enterprise. 

Contributors are encouraged to propose sound examples which may be included
in the annual CD to be released with this issue. The editors will
particularly welcome submissions from student contributors.

As always, any submission relating to other music and technology topics are
welcomed by the Editors.
