“Much of\u00a0 music composed in history related to specific activities in the world: It\u00a0 supported religious practice, dance, dramatic opera, funerals, military or\u00a0 stately events. Only occasionally music was purely self-referential as in the\u00a0 scholasticism of late Renaissance music, or the experimentations of New music\u00a0 in the 20th Century. I want to look at the specific case of film music and\u00a0 sound design and music for media. Composing music and sound design for films\u00a0 poses specific challenges. The raison d’etre for any music and sound design, in\u00a0 fact for the soundtrack as a whole is the narrative and the image track of the\u00a0 film. This poses constraints for the timebased art of music. Film music can\u00a0 never follow its own logic freely developing themes or sound textures as long\u00a0 as it takes. It is limited by the duration of a scene which it supports or\u00a0 comments. In my analyses of films I observed that film composers adopt two\u00a0 fundamental musical approaches: on the one hand the thematic concept of music\u00a0 using thematic Leitmotifs and harmonic tonality. On the other hand composers\u00a0 practice a timbral or spectral aesthetic which expresses itself through complex\u00a0 textures and drones.<\/p>\n

It is closely linked to sound design, which emerged from the\u00a0 electro-acoustic music tradition and the 20th Century aesthetic of\u00a0 musicalising environmental, indeed any recorded sound or noise.”<\/p>\n
