Under the title De-sign, Philip Brophy presents an overview of his work in combining film score and sound design to create immersive surround-sound designs for film. This event is a formal and public condensation of the presentations Philip did when teaching the Soundtrack course at RMIT Media Arts, Melbourne, plus as components of short courses he has presented at the Australian Film TV & Radio School, Sydney. Key published articles by Philip on the art and craft of composing and sound-designing for film include the articles Local Noise: Sound & Music in Australian Film and Film Narrative / Narrative Film / Music Narrative / Narrative Music.

For De-sign he focusses on demonstrating scenes from his commissioned projects in order to guide the audience through the technical, creative and collaborative aspects of working in this sono-musical mode. Formulated for those wishing to know the methods and processes that can be used for film scoring and sound designing, De-sign is particularly focused on how one can be attuned to the psychological and narrative effects of audiovision when engaged in doing the sound and/or music for a film.

De-sign was first formally presented at the Australian Centre of the Moving Image in 2004, and was an event supported by both ACMI and Arts Victoria (Music for the Future). It has since been presented at:

University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA
