Journal Article
Nostalgie, Futurismus, Fragment
2019
Overview
Although an extensive number of articles has been concerned with different approaches to Ridley Scott’s 1982 film Blade Runner, only few of them have focussed on Vangelis’s soundtrack. This article shows that the film’s musical concept is tied to the core topics of the film in multiple ways and that a comprehensive analysis of the film should not neglect its merits. Starting with a short introduction to Philip K. Dick’s original musical concept in his novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the article deals with the film’s ideas about ‘genre and history’, ‘memory and identity’ as well as ‘technology and nature’. A short epilogue references the reactionary sequel Blade Runner 2049 and its music but the main focus is on a systematic analysis of the music, its contexts and its stance on the film’s representative concerns.
