Such a lacuna in the extensive research on Godard's work is unfortunate, as Godard's lifelong preoccupation of exploring self-reflexively all aspects of filmmaking particularly affects film music. With the novel approach of metafilm music, extrapolated from Jean-Luc Godard's oeuvre, this book not only closes up a crucial gap in Godard research, but also offers detailed analyses of the music as metafilm music in \u003cem\u003eContempt\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAlphaville\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBand of Outsiders\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePierrot le fou\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFirst Name: Carmen\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHistoire(s) du cinéma\u003c\/em\u003e, among other films and video productions. The innovative scholarly concept of metafilm music, enriching the burgeoning field of music in audio-visual media, describes how\u003cbr\u003eGodard thinks about film music with film music. This book thus provides a thorough examination of Godard's self-reflexive approach to film music which has resulted in a lifelong creation of multi-layered soundtracks pushing the envelope of film music and sound to the limit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Baumgartner\u003c\/strong\u003e teaches at Cleveland State University.
