L’effet de la musique : de l’espace psychique à l’image blanche, une approche créatrice à l’écoute de l’expérience
This research-creation project studies the power of music in the self-development. How does it affect our psyche? My point of view which is philosophical, phenomenological and psychoanalytical,  is elaborated according meetings and interviews with musicians that I lead during the production of my documentary. Here, I am presenting, inspired by lots of scientific theories, several levels of reception of music in movies, whether conscious, unconscious, transitional or potential. Beyond the music itself, there is the extra-musical, the film music is part of that. What emotions are triggered by music in movies? In a society monopolized by the diktat of sight; What aesthetic procedures are built to make us pay attention to the soundtrack? We will study these issues thanks to several theorists and through two documentaries Herman Slobbe (Johan van der Keuken, 1966) and The United States of Africa (Yanick Létourneau, 2011). This research explores what music gives us through affects. From childhood to adulthood, this ancient art offers opportunities that the eye can not reach. Thus, this research allows me to understand the reasons that led me to filmmaking since it is the music that led me to it. It was music which made me desire to work in the audio-visual environment.
