Then came Michael Noone and—especially—Deborah Crisp from the Canberra School of Music, as well as Robyn Holmes.

David Boyd was there from the start with film studies input.
Like many, I am indebted to Phil Brophy and his team for the Melbourne Cinesonic conferences, an ideal conjunction of film studies and sound, as well as to their participants, especially Adrian
