The School of Sound - Upcoming Online Events

THE SCHOOL OF SOUND is a space to learn about the creative use of sound in the arts and media. Through online events, short courses, research, reflection and our collection of writings, interviews and recorded talks, we offer you the opportunity to re-think how sound operates in the arts and media.

Sound design, human sound perception, non-naturalistic sound, sound as metaphor – the topics range from the practical to the aesthetic to the metaphysical, creating a new awareness of sound for all those working in screen, gallery and audio production.

The School of Sound began in 1998 as a four-day event aimed at exploring the creative use of sound in the arts and media, with a special emphasis on film and screen productions. Since then, the School of Sound has expanded to include weekend seminars, intensive practical workshops,'listening' events, consultancies for professional practitioners and the international 4-day symposium held every two years.

The Dickson Experimental Sound Film, 1894

Now we have moved our programme online to allow a wider, more diverse audience of all ages and experience to join our events. And we can benefit from our extensive network of practitioners, artists and academics to present talks throughout the year. Our purpose is to explore sound from all points of view, integrating theory and practice, the arts and creative industries, and experimental and traditional perspectives.

Upcoming Events

Our autumn programme explores the use of sound in theatre, fiction film, documentary, animation, games, radio and gallery art. For full details, go to schoolofsound.co.uk/events.

How (Not) To Become a Film Composer
The growing popularity of film music has intensified the desire of many composers to enter the world of film, TV and games music. But how does a sound person take the first steps to enter the profession? What skills do they need, what training should they seek, what attitudes should they develop to help them achieve this goal?
21 September

MAXWELL STEVENS “LAST DAYS OF SUMMER” NEW PAINTINGS

MAXWELL STEVENS
“LAST DAYS OF SUMMER” NEW PAINTINGS

September 1 – October 15, 2023
Preview Week: September 1 - 8
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 9, 6 - 9 pm

Maxwell Stevens
Beach Girls, 2022
Oil on canvas
41 x 51 in / 104 x 130 cm

NEW YORK - ONETWENTYEIGHT is delighted to present MAXWELL STEVENS “Last Days of Summer” a powerful collection of new oil paintings. Taking on the grand tradition of gestural abstraction inspired by the North Atlantic coast and especially along Long Island with De Kooning and Pollock, the artist superposes explosively energetic abstractions directly atop intimate beach scenes rendered with meticulous precision. Overpainted in jewel-like blues, aquas, and teal, they are a celebration of leisure, friendship, and family, as well as the mutually voyeuristic nature of public beaches where everyone is willfully exposed. Focusing on the populated shorelines and delving into a personal trove of beach photos taken over many summers spent at Long Beach, one of the most popular beaches near NYC and a summertime destination for many New Yorkers.

Maxwell Stevens
Beach Scene (Siblings), 2022-2023
Oil on canvas
72 x 80 in / 183 x 203.2 cm

As an avid beachgoer, Maxwell Stevens spent his adolescence on the Atlantic coast. “Some of my most memorable experiences have been at the beach, it’s a place of uninhibited leisure and of letting go of everything. At the same time, it is a place for reflection, a site for us to readjust through life’s journey. I want these paintings to convey that same positive effect on the viewer.” The artist’s visual language of sinuous contours and smears has given way to a burst of highly energetic expressions of scattered brushstrokes, sweeping gestures, drips, and plops of paint that fly across the paintings’ surfaces, immersing each scene into his own signature approach to abstraction. The looser and playful compositions skidding into and over the top of beachgoers, sunbathers, and surfers alike.

Maxwell Stevens
Beach Scene, In Repose, 2022
Oil on canvas
51 x 63 in / 130 x 160 cm

In the large paintings filling the front of the gallery, bright abstractions and figural compositions shift ceaselessly from image to image. “Beach Scene, Siblings” presents a group of leisurely young sunbathers. The enticing position of the woman fixing her hair is counterbalanced with the innocence of her companions in the scene, as her sisters laugh and relax under their colorful beach umbrella. Hundreds of other beachgoers disappear onto the horizon. In “Beach Scene, In Repose” a young man sits in contemplation as friends chat under the hot sunlight. And in “Bikini Girl” the over-life-size figure turns powerfully away, her athletic physique and dominating scale displaying a sense of self-empowerment and grandeur balanced with classical beauty. In other works, figures, sand, and surf all dissolve entirely into luminous soft focus. In a final set of smaller panels entitled “Last Days of Summer” figures are seen at a distance conversing under stormy skies, as summertime draws to a close. There are many magical moments at play throughout the series, now on view.

Maxwell Stevens was born in Charleston, South Carolina (USA) in 1971. He received an MFA in Painting from the School of Art at Washington University in Saint Louis in 1995, and a BFA in Painting from The Atlanta College of Art in 1993. His paintings and drawings have been exhibited extensively and internationally in contemporary venues from Tokyo to Dallas to New York.
