Tonights Research Seminar we present Jean Martin.
Contemporary art music in the context of film and moving image.
Bridge Wardens College, Lecture Theatre
6-8pm
Tuesday, 25th March, 2014
Jean Martin will present some ideas from his recent book ‘Filmgeräusch – Wahrnehmungsfelder eines Mediums (co-authored with Frieder Butzmann).
“Much of music composed in history related to specific activities in the world: It supported religious practice, dance, dramatic opera, funerals, military or stately events. Only occasionally music was purely self-referential as in the scholasticism of late Renaissance music, or the experimentations of New music in the 20th Century. I want to look at the specific case of film music and sound design and music for media. Composing music and sound design for films poses specific challenges. The raison d’etre for any music and sound design, in fact for the soundtrack as a whole is the narrative and the image track of the film. This poses constraints for the timebased art of music. Film music can never follow its own logic freely developing themes or sound textures as long as it takes. It is limited by the duration of a scene which it supports or comments. In my analyses of films I observed that film composers adopt two fundamental musical approaches: on the one hand the thematic concept of music using thematic Leitmotifs and harmonic tonality. On the other hand composers practice a timbral or spectral aesthetic which expresses itself through complex textures and drones.
It is closely linked to sound design, which emerged from the electro-acoustic music tradition and the 20th Century aesthetic of musicalising environmental, indeed any recorded sound or noise.”
This event is FREE to attend and open to Staff and Students.

CCA Symposium Uncertain Ground: Landscape, Memory and Theatres of Conflict, featuring film screening of Shona Illingworth’s film ‘Balnakiel’.
Sunday, 23rd March, 2014
2-5pm
Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) Glasgow.
The CCA Symposium, programmed in association with Film and Video Umbrella, as part of 25 Frames, celebrating 25 years with their 25 selected films and with thanks to the Wellcome Trust, School of Music and Fine Art lecturer, Shona Illingworth will be attending the CCA Glasgow on Sunday 23rd March for the screening of her film Balnakiel.
“Shona Illingworth’s moving-image and sound work engages with the complexities of memory, and explores the intersections and instabilities between memory, history, subjectivity and place as they evolve over time. Set in the far north of Sutherland, in a place marked by the tectonic forces of military/cultural history, her film Balnakiel provides the stimulus for a symposium on the Scottish landscape and its historical and contemporary aesthetic and political resonance.”
The event runs from 2-5pm, with Balnakiel screening at 2.10pm, followed ‘in conversation’ afterwards with Shona Illingworth and Head of Psychology at City University.
“Cognitive neuropsychologist Martin A. Conway, one of the foremost international experts in the field of Autobiographical Memory, and a close collaborator in Illingworth’s work; Hebridean psychologist Catriona Morrison, Head of Psychology at Heriot Watt University, who is known for her work on memory and language; Issie MacPhail, a cultural geographer, focused on culture and development in north west Sutherland, and a Research Fellow at the UHI Centre for Rural Health and Honorary Research Fellow at The School of Geographical and Earth Sciences, University of Glasgow, and Andrew Hoskins, Media Sociologist at the University of Glasgow whose work explores the intersections between media, war and memory. Chaired by Steven Bode, Director of Film and Video Umbrella.”
