The Audiovisual Elsewhere
摘要
This chapter is interested in a significant area of influence for film music beyond film, as well as a reciprocal influence that certain recorded music is having on music in film. Indeed, there has been an increased 'musicalization' of the film soundtrack, which has paralleled the expansion of traditional notions of music in the wake of musique concrete, later experimental music and peripheral developments in so-called popular music. This chapter engages with programmatic music and the more recent development of ‘ambient music’, with its sense of atmosphere often derived from traditions of music in film.
