HOLLYWOOD THEORY, NON-HOLLYWOOD PRACTICE: CINEMA SOUNDTRACKS IN THE 1980S AND 1990S

"Relatively little has been written about film scores and soundtracks outside of Hollywood cinema. Hollywood Theory, Non-Hollywood Practice addresses this gap by looking at the practices of film soundtrack composition for non-Hollywood films made after 1980. Annette Davison argues that since the mid-1970s the model of the classical Hollywood score has functioned as a form of dominant ideology in relation to which alternative scoring and soundtrack practices may assert themselves."--BOOK JACKET.
