That rumbling in your stomach. That piercing in your temples. That ringing in your ears. You are experiencing the soundtrack. Your frontal lobes, inner body and back bone are being
massaged and assaulted by all that the soundtrack can hold and release. This book places you in sight of the soundtrack’s aim.
The giddy heights of Stanley Kubrick’s musical taste. The lower depths of dub-music’s social soundscapes. The vacillating flux in film music’s identity. The faint praise and bold
contempt accorded music supervisors. The flat bark and pompous drawl of the Australian accent. The pregnant moment just prior to a character breaking out in song. The repressed moment
when a character is spoken by a post-dubbed voice. The current state of Dolby Digital. The sound and music for Mallboy. The amazing rock-sonic film scores of the late Jack Nitzche.
