| Abstract | Relatively little has been written about film scores and soundtracks outside of Hollywood cinema. This book addresses this gap by looking at the practices of film soundtrack composition for non-Hollywood films made after 1980. The author argues that since the mid-1970s the model of the classical Hollywood score has functioned as a form of dominant ideology in relation to which alternative scoring and soundtrack practices may assert themselves. |
