Abstract
Durante décadas, el papel que la música cumple en la industria cinematográfica ha sido
indiscutible, pues ambas artes han demostrado ser capaces de interrelacionarse perfectamente hasta
lograr una adecuada fusión de música e imagen, por lo que resulta imposible que una prescinda de
otra. Sin embargo, ¿qué sucede cuando la historia de los filmes presenta escenas violentas de forma
inesperada? Es supuesto que tanto sonido como escena transmitan este concepto a su audiencia, y
si bien el guion auxilia a la imagen para lograrlo, para el público resulta desconocido el reconocer
cómo lo realiza la música. En consecuencia, el espectador se encuentra expuesto ante cualquier
efecto que se produzca frente a las técnicas o métodos que aquello implique. De esta manera, la
presente investigación pretende evaluar los casos de dos películas contemporáneas calificadas
como género dramático: Requiem for a dream e Irreversible, con el fin de demostrar, a través de
un análisis de la banda sonora, la manipulación del sonido hacia el público y; seguidamente,
evidenciar la responsabilidad del compositor frente a este fenómeno. Es así, que se recurrirá a
reconocidos investigadores y expertos en el campo de la música cinematográfica tales como
Michel Chion, Philip Ball, Hanss Eisler, Theodor Adorno, entre otros.

However, what happens when the story of the films presents violent scenes in unexpected ways? It is assumed that both sound and scene transmit this concept to its audience, and although the script helps the image to achieve it, it is unknown for the public to recognize how the music performs it. Consequently, the viewer is exposed to any effect that occurs against the techniques or methods that this involve. In this way, this research aims to evaluate the cases of two contemporary films classified as dramatic genre: Requiem for a dream and Irreversible, in order to demonstrate, through an analysis of the soundtrack, the manipulation of sound towards the public and; afterward, to show the responsibility of the composer in front of this phenomenon. In this way, renowned researchers and experts in the field of film music such as Michel Chion, Philip Ball, Hanss Eisler, Theodor Adorno, among others, will be used in this investigation.
