Sound Design Theory and Practice is a comprehensive and accessible guide to theconcepts which underpin the creative decisions that inform the creation of sounddesign.A fundamental problem facing anyone wishing to practice, study, teach orresearch about sound is the lack of a theoretical language to describe the way soundis used and a comprehensive and rigorous overarching framework that describes allforms of sound. With the recent growth of interest in sound studies, there is anurgent need to provide scholarly resources that can be used to inform both thepractice and analysis of sound. Using a range of examples from classic and con-temporary cinema, television and games this book provides a thorough theoreticalfoundation for the artistic practice of sound design, which is too frequently seen asa ‘technical’ or secondary part of the production process.Engaging with practices in film, television and other digital media, Sound DesignTheory and Practice provides a set of tools for systematic analysis of sound for bothpractitioners and scholars.
