Music is an integral part of the film and new media, however, the relation between sound and media (film, TV, game industries) as well as the ways to apply this relation in practice still need be properly researched. Distinction between music and sound design composing in contemporary film is quite blurry and ambiguous. In turn the new media providing the opportunity to access content anytime, anywhere, as well as an interactive user interface is radically changing the paradigms of creativity, participation in artistic production and its use. At the first Conference history and experience will be reviewed and the present challenges discussed. Scholars from different areas, including social and applied sciences, creative industries and the humanities are invited to explore the issues of music and sound design in cinema and the contemporary media.
