ABSTRACT

Sound images, visual images and music-images exist equally in the world people live in. They all are constantly present in varied volume and frequencies and they affect their psyche in different measures, angles and directions. Inside film, the music-image encounters collaboration with the visual image, a collaboration that may sometimes 'force' the two images into a kind of dependency and mutual 'sacrifice'; this may in turn enhance the pair even more if they were separated and independent. Thus the creation of the music-images in film starts with an interpersonal psychological discourse attempting to result in the gestation of one agreed and acceptable new image that will end up as the 'live' image alongside the visual image. Neanderthals developed a 'music-like communication system that was more complex and more sophisticated than that found in any of the previous species of Homo', one that included iconic gestures, dance, onomatopoeia, vocal imitation and sound Synaesthesia.
