How different would a movie be if we only listened to it?
An experiment I’ve never tried, because I’d fall asleep, is to “watch” with my eyes closed. My guess is it would be a fantastic way to understand the art of movie scores (not the songs in movies, but the “background” music).
I own dozens of movie soundtracks and I listen often, both to recall movies I love and simply to appreciate the music. The latter is especially true of Philip Glass, whose beauties such as “String Quartet No. 3” from “Mishima” don’t always connect to specific images.
