The Sound Track

The book The Sound Track by Rens Machielse deals with the power

of the soundtrack and focuses on its design for a feature film,

commercial or documentary. It is written for anyone who wants to

work with sound and music in these kinds of productions, primarily

art students and young professionals. The book also serves as a

reference book for those already working in the field of music and

sound for media, and it is certainly also intended for (future)

producers, directors and editors.

The text is based on the integration of theoretical knowledge and

practical experience gained by the author as a lecturer, researcher

and freelance composer for audiovisual media.

What does the soundtrack do with the

experience of a film? How does the whole

of dialogue, music and sound ensure that

the viewer is immersed into the film and

sympathizes, even in a physical sense,

with the emotions of characters?
