FAQ About The Influence of Impressionist Music on Modern Soundtracks
Why is the use of non-traditional scales in impressionist music important for soundtracks?
The use of non-traditional scales, such as the whole tone and pentatonic scales, is important for soundtracks because they create unique sonic landscapes that can evoke specific emotions and atmospheres. These scales often avoid the resolution typical in traditional Western tonality, which can maintain a sense of suspense or otherworldliness, perfectly suiting a film's narrative need for certain emotional tones and storytelling elements.
