        Sound Is Overlooked is a conference which will bring together
composers, musicians, engineers, and academics in an exciting exploration
of audio and music in the entertainment industry.  Sound Is Overlooked is 
far
from a traditional academic conference; it will include music 
performances,
film screenings, sound/acoustic demonstrations, and career roundtables,
as well as panel discussions between composers and academics.
All events will take place at Duke University.
