From the experimental sounds of indie films to the revival of classical techniques in modern scoring, we uncover the stories behind the music that moves us, often without our realization.
Film music is not just an accompaniment to visual storytelling; it's a character in its own right. The emotional resonance of a scene can hinge on the subtlety of a single note or the absence of sound altogether.
