Book Presentation:
This work reflects on the compositional and aesthetic consequences of technical changes in scoring Hollywood super-productions in the digital age. This book takes a two-fold approach. First of all, it highlights how technological change has affected the very way composers conceive their scores, taking advantage of the possibilities opened up by new technologies. These include combining timbres, experimenting with colours, blending virtual instruments with acoustic sonorities, differentiating sonic layers and organizing music and sound effects. Second, this book interrogates how music is considered and used in contemporary films, before composition starts and in post-production.
