Conference Organizers: Sound, Music and the Moving Image Research in sound and music on screen is now gaining a momentum which is reflected, in turn, in the variety of approaches it embraces. Bringing together practitioners and scholars from different disciplines, the conference will provide an opportunity to reflect on and challenge prevailing methodologies and concepts in sound/music and image scholarship, and to speculate on future directions. A full programme of screenings and related events will be organized. The conference immediately precedes .Musicology and Recordings., the combined CHARM (Centre for the History and Analysis of Recorded Music) and Royal Musical Association annual meeting (13-15 September, Royal Holloway, University of London).

On Air Broadcast: 12pm -1.30 thurs Sydney 2SER 107.3 Streaming Online: 12pm -1.30 thurs (Sydney Time) www.2SER.com Website: www.dumphuck.com/cathode Email: cathodeimmersions@2ser.com Since starting out in 2002, Cathode Immersions has developed its own approach to improvised and prepared radio - combining compositions, field recordings of Sydney City and surrounding national parks with a real time remixing of 'free to air' television into a pulsing acoustic space. Originally the intention was to alter the experience of late night television by providing a new context, but as time has passed increasingly the aesthetics of improvised collaboration and imaginative listening have developed into a coherent aesthetic and we have a much stronger sense of creating space. The introduction of a weekly themes has meant that as well as live drones, audio mulching and instrumentation, we've been increasingly able to introduce our own field recordings, sounds of electromagnetic phenomena, recordings by acoustic ecologists and established field recordists, and generally take the television 'outside'.
