In his work entitled “Composing for the Films”, Theodor W. Adorno claims that the relationship between sound and picture “is only the most characteristic facet of the function delegated to music in the industrial society’s culture”. Our collection called Cinema Dreams is a magnificent adventure born from the friendship that unites me with the great musician and guitarist Francisco Bernier, and with Spanish illustrator and sketch artist David Pérez Peco.
“Cinema Dreams” aims to create a singular discourse between music specifically composed for guitar and film. This type of dialogue offers complex resonances that overcome the degenerating function of music, often imposed upon by the transcendent motion picture industry in its strategy to standardize taste.
Keeping this goal in mind, we decided to publish unpublished cinematic scripts, in parallel to works pertaining to guitar repertory. Contrarily to popular processes, these scripts were written by contemplatively listening to the works, thus reversing the traditional process of incidental music, composed in a mere response to the demands of the film industry.
