FILM MUSIC
Music, a non-representational art, enchants and completes the cinematographic image and contributes significantly toward articulating the structure and content of a film.
Its harmonic-melodic flexibility, characteristic temporality - irrespective of real time - and capacity to create an enveloping space, causes our inner strings to vibrate, liberating the image from its objective realism, and collaborating towards the transcendence of a film’s content.
