XIII International Symposium

MUSICAL CREATION
ON THE SOUNDTRACK

CALL FOR PAPERS

Dates: June 25 and 26, 2021
Virtual Symposium
Organizers: Comisión de Música y Lenguajes Audiovisuales (MYLA) de la SEdeM, Universidad de Oviedo –
Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Dpto. Historia del Arte y Musicología

For almost two decades the International Symposium “La creación musical en la banda sonora” has
been a reference forum for research in audiovisual media´s music in Spain. The first meeting took place
in 2002; since then, the analysis of this type of cultural material has become a booming discipline, due
to the growing interest for musicology and for cultural, cinema, video games and audiovisual studies.

The Symposium´s goal is being again an exchange platform for the discussion of these topics, covering
national and international contexts. The crisis caused by Covid-19 has raised uncertainties about holding
meetings face-to-face. Thereby, the Audiovisual Languages Commission of the Spanish Musicology
Society —which promotes this event— has agreed in using online tools in the upcoming thirteenth edition
of the symposium. Following previous meetings, we will maintain topics such as the process of
composition and the analysis of the music of Spanish and foreign cinema, so as the different methods of
approach to these issues.

The conference is also focused in delve into the music of our audiovisual surrounding: music in
television series, advertisements, and music videos, as well as the growing audiovisual opportunities
offered by Internet and video games. The educational field and the possibilities of musical and
audiovisual language with didactic approach continue to increase their relevance; for this reason, we
encourage submitting papers about it. Finally, we also contemplate the inclusion of works concerning the
production and consumption practices linked to a digital context, the audiovisual within the music
industry, and film music criticism.
