godard on music

Music expresses the spiritual, and it provides inspiration. When I'm blind music is my little Antigone; it helps to see the unbelievable. And what has always interested me is the fact that musicians have no need for the image although people involved with the images need music. I've always wanted to be able to pan or track during a war scene or love scene, in order to see the orchestra at the same time. And for music to take over at the moment when there is no more need to see the image. For music to express something else. What interests me is to see music-to try to see what one is hearing and to hear what one is seeing.
