The UCSB Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Music (CISM) is 
calling for
submissions for their interdisciplinary "Music and the Moving Image" 
Graduate

This conference--run by graduate students, for graduate students--seeks to
explore the interaction between the moving image and music, sound, and even
"silence" through a wide variety of interdisciplinary approaches. We welcome

possible topics could include:

	.Musical/sound narration, trends in film scoring

productions, commercial

disabilities
