About the Book:
Film Music: Cognition to Interpretation explores the dynamic counterpoint between a film's soundtrack, its visuals and narrative, and the audience's perception and construction of meaning.
About the Author:
As Associate Professor of Music Theory at the Frost School of Music, Juan Chattah, Ph.D. focuses his efforts on two different areas of research - one, the application of models drawn from cognitive psychology, linguistics, and critical theory to the analysis of film music; and two, the exploration of innovative pedagogical paradigms informed by methodological advances in non-music related disciplines. A prolific composer, Dr. Chattah’s undertakings range from tangos performed regularly by the Emory Tango Ensemble, to interactive electroacoustic music incorporated by several dance companies, original underscoring for independent films, and children songs written for the program Stories in the Air, an original innovative series broadcast worldwide through Public Radio International. He is also active as a solo and chamber pianist.
