Sonic Scope

Aims & Scope

Sonic Scope invites fresh, intrepid and dynamic student voices to re-imagine and revise critical, interdisciplinary approaches to audiovisual media. Today’s accelerated media landscape offers an unprecedented range of audiovisual experiences, from dynamically reactive video games and ultra HD sports events, to live-streamed political rallies and YouTube vlogs. Within this expanding landscape, the relationship of music and sound to image has undergone radical cultural and aesthetic upheaval. Sonic Scope intervenes in this shifting media through theory, film, creative practice and sound. Sonic Scope aims to provide a platform for current students and recent graduates working within audiovisual cultures. It is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal founded in 2019 in association with Goldsmiths, University of London and MIT Press, publishing annually, or biannually. In addition to written articles, Sonic Scope welcomes practical submissions, such as ethnographic film, practice-as-research, and audiovisual composition. Submissions can engage with any aspect of audiovisual culture. We are particularly interested in submissions which engage with the following: Online culture, social media and YouTube Transmedia storytelling Video game sound and music Work created by or engaging with AV practices in the LGBTQ+ community Multimodal and interdisciplinary approaches to opera, theatre and film Augmented, virtual and hyperrealities Music video Theoretical engagements with gender, race, sexuality and disability in audiovisual media Music and the visual arts Film music analysis and history AV creative practice and experimental culture Global histories and perspectives on AV culture Video art and expanded cinema Live audiovisual performance
