[Leonardo/ISAST Network] LMJ 16 Call for Papers: Noises Off -- Sound Beyond Music

[Leonardo/ISAST]

CALL FOR PAPERS
Leonardo Music Journal 16 (2006)
Noises Off -- Sound Beyond Music

These days sound is more than just music. Museums, galleries and artists'
studios are getting noisier: it's not that there is so much more "Sound
Art," but rather that so much more art has sound. Cellphone ringtones
generated four billion dollars in sales worldwide in 2004. Incoming email
and outgoing popcorn announce themselves with plops and gongs and boops and
beeps -- the emerging field of "sonification" addresses this proliferation
of all these "earcons" and other representational uses of sound. Sound
design is a vital part of Hollywood films and computer games. While CD sales
shrink with the proliferation of peer-to-peer file exchange, the creative
use of sound is expanding in almost every other part of our lives.

For the next issue of Leonardo Music Journal we invite papers on the
expanded role of sound in art, science, business and everyday life. Topics
could include (but are not limited to): audio art, radio art, phonography;
sound design for video, film, and gaming; the role of sound in performance
art, theatre, dance; sonificitation; architectural acoustics; instrument
design.
