NASHVILLE
-- The Nashville Composers Association
and Film-Com will
present the two-day seminar “Deciphering the Movie Music Masters” with music
supervisor, record producer and music educator Andy Hill from June 18-19 at Ocean Way
on Music Row.
The premise
of this year's Score-Com (“Deciphering the Movie Music Masters”) is that film composers need to study
the film music repertoire no less diligently than concert composers study the
classical repertoire. What can composers learn from the past that they can
carry into the future? And how can composers hit the bar that was set by
our predecessors with today’s budgets and timelines? Andy will address through
study of actual landmark scores and live demonstrations playing to picture. As
a music supervisor, Andy has worked with some of the greatest film composers. As
an educator, he has conducted Skype chats many of them in locations all over
the world, and he will do so at Score-Com (prepare to be surprised!).
Established composers will speak to how they manage with lower budgets,
tight deadlines, and current creative expectations.
Seating is limited.
Tuition is $85
for non-members and $55 for NCA members. For more information or to register,

The agenda
and topics that will be covered in the symposium include:
* Is there
a shared film music language, with its own vocabulary and syntax?
* If so,
how can a composer make use of it without being merely imitative?
*How can
contemporary media composers create distinctive music with radically reduced
budgets?
* The
Nashville-Austin connection.
* Can
Nashville become “Media Music City”?
Score-Com also will feature Skype chats with film composers Danny Elfman and Hanan Townshend.
It is
highly recommended (though not mandatory) to get Andy Hill's new book, "Scoring
the Screen: The Secret Language of Film Music", as he will be frequently
referencing it. Special pricing for the book will be made available
to Score-Com attendees.
