Overview
- Expands the definition of incongruent film music by taking a nuanced look at how difference between a film’s images, narrative and music can contribute to perceived meaning
- Combines psychological research and other subject perspectives (including semiotic and poststructuralist theory), with more traditional approaches from film music studies
- Identifies additional types of incongruent film music to those traditionally discussed, for example, film-music mismatches of a more philosophical and conceptual nature rather than just those that rely on emotional difference between sound and image

Reviews
“David Ireland has tackled a difficult problem in film-music studies by carefully collating and coordinating a variety of approaches that have often themselves been considered ‘incongruent’ in the past. The result is not only a great success but also has broader implications for film-music analysis and interpretation.” (David Neumeyer, Professor Emeritus of Music Theory, The University of Texas at Austin, USA)
