It describes Eisler’s experience as an early practitioner in sound, film including the experimental Film Music Project. This chapter also summarizes the motivations and methods associated with Eisler’s “lifelong film music project” and analyzes the book Composing for the Films, which Eisler coauthored with musicologist and philosopher Theodor W.
