title = "The Visual Music Film",
abstract = "Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, The Visual Music Film explores the concept and expression of musicality in the visual music film, in which moving image presentations are given musical attributes such as rhythmical form, structure and harmony. Drawing on the analogy of the absolute in music to demonstrate how musical concepts can function across the disciplinary boundaries of music and film, the first half of this book illustrates how musical ideas can be applied to the moving image in order to elucidate the musical characteristics of the text. The second part of this book concentrates less on the philosophical vestiges carried over from musical thought to the visual music film, instead focusing on the variety of techniques and technological developments that evolved in tandem with the visual music film, each simultaneously exerting an influence on one another.",
