10:10 AM - 10:45 AM | Keynote Conversation - Making Movie Music: The Composer & The Engineer We are in the middle of a creative Renaissance in music for film and television. Right now. The imaginative use of a single instrument. Rhythmic effects. Ethnic flavors. Bursts of energy. Modern-classical. Neo-synth. Tonal shifts. Integrated sound design. Orchestra moving in and out of pop songs. A healthy dose of traditional Hollywood score. And yet each and every film and television score—or score/soundtrack—begins with an idea in someone’s head and a recording that brings that idea to the audience. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1:30 PM - 2:15 PM | The Mix Panel Series - Score + Song + Source: The Creative Explosion in Film and Television Music There’s been a subtle, yet pronounced, decades-long shift in how music works with picture, both films and television. The days of opening theme songs and daylong sessions with a 100-piece orchestra are increasingly rare; while the innovative infusion and integration of sound design, industrial rhythms, distorted first-gen samples, stripped-down orchestral sections, world beats, virtual instruments, solo strings, manipulated vocals—not to mention the weaving in and out of pop and rock songs—these are all in. Here we talk with leading music supervisors, music editors, music re-recording mixers and supervising sound editors about the changing shape, and creation, of the modern music soundtrack. ![]() | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
