agree  xxxSMcG: Closest, it's one of those tricky ones, it's a kind of anachronistic term that comes from silent cinema. The person at the piano would make 'music for the image'. More common today is the term 'design sonore' sound design

music for pictures (music to pictures)


Explanation:
Hello,

This seems to be the idea here.

But this album is just what it says, music for pictures. It's high energy arty rock and I only like it when I'm doing some monotonous task. ...

I hope this helps.

Reference information:
Nicolas Blies Compositeur« Apporter une nouvelle dimension à l’expérience visuelle, en respectant l’idée du réalisateur et en respectant l’idée même du projet, tel est mon objectif en tant que compositeur de musique à l’image »
PRESENTATION
Nicolas Blies est l’auteur de nombreuses bandes originales pour courts et longs métrages, documentaires et films institutionnels. En s’appuyant aussi bien sur les instruments acoustiques que sur les nouvelles technologies, son travail mêle ingénieusement développement musical et sound design. Le style du compositeur se veut résolument hétéroclite et au service de l’image
