Hi Christopher: Thank you for initiating this discussion topic. Albert Alcoz has provided a document that is available without download. I am looking past the introduction of Oskar Fischinger, where Rudolph Pfenninger's research is taken up: "Eschewing aesthetic discourse entirely, Pfenninger focused on the technological development of a new form of acoustic writing [. . . ]." This kind of essay is really part of a history of technology. The question, however, seems to ask how sound is being thought within contemporary practice. That's going to be a little trickier to come up with, particularly if you are searching in the spirit of Fischinger (in other words, not looking at cartoons). For me this kind of interest led me to sound poetics as one can sample at ubu.com, and to the artistic exploration of sound that even resists being identified with music. Particularly if you are attracted to the idea of scoring a soundtrack, Pierre Schaeffer's In Search of a Concrete Music is pretty cool. It's as if the whole approach to experiment in film now takes up the use of pots and pans in order to unfold a unique aural experience that is neither verbal nor musical.
Of course "sound design' is already a term from a rather more mainstream current of academic to professional study.
