This book explores music/sound-image relationships in
non-mainstream screen repertoire from the earliest examples of
experimental audiovisuality to the most recent forms of expanded
and digital technology. It challenges presumptions of visual
primacy in experimental cinema and rethinks screen music discourse
in light of the aesthetics of non-commercial imperatives. Several
themes run through the book, connecting with and significantly
enlarging upon current critical discourse surrounding realism and
audibility in the fiction film, the role of music in mainstream
cinema, and the audiovisual strategies of experimental film. The
contributors investigate repertoires and artists from Europe and
the USA through the critical lenses of synchronicity and animated
sound, interrelations of experimentation in image and sound,
audiovisual synchresis and dissonance, experimental soundscape
traditions, found-footage film, re-mediation of pre-existent music
and sound, popular and queer sound cultures, and a diversity of
radical technological, aesthetic, tropes in film media traversing
the work of early pioneers such as Walther Ruttmann and Len Lye,
through the mid-century innovations of Norman McLaren, Stan
Brakhage, Lis Rhodes, Kenneth Anger, Andy Warhol, and studio
collectives in Poland, to latter-day experimentalists John Smith
and Bill Morrison, as well as the contemporary practices of Vjing.
