The Subtle Art of Cinematic Scores
A Film Music Scoring Workshop
Facilitators
Film music has often been referred to as an invisible art form. We don’t see the actual musicians generating the music the same way we witness performers on a concert stage. The art of creating music for motion pictures, music that will underscore the dramatic moments on screen, is unique and challenging.
This workshop, facilitated by Dr. Yati Durant and Prof. André Bellmont, will be a foray into this unique space. They will discuss their experiences as film music composers and what make this different than other kinds of musical techniques. They will talk about their experience teaching film music around the world and take any questions from curious participants too!
