This volume gathers contributions from reputed historians and theorists in the broad area of sound studies, presented at the international ARCHIMEDIA conference held in Brussels in October 2000. The texts constitute innovative approaches in the fields of sound historiography, musical audition, synchronization mechanisms for silent films, accompaniment practices, early sound national productions, unusual Hollywood musical composition practices, as well as sound outside film theatres (home cinema, television and resources on the Internet). Technical contributions pursue the theoretical inquiries by means of examples of restoration and conservation of sound material.
