| ASCAP presents
The 2003 NYU Film Scoring Workshop In Memory
of Buddy Baker May 21-29
Following in the legacy of Buddy Baker, the
2003 NYU Film Scoring Workshop will continue
to present the rich traditions of classical
Hollywood film scoring. Dedicated sessions will
address click tracks and free-timing, orchestration
techniques, and conducting. In addition, MIDI
mockups, a staple in today's scoring chain of
production, will be featured.
Participants will choose clips from traditional
film or art films, and the workshop will focus
on the collaborative process of working with
a director. Bridging filmmakers drawn from the
art world with the participating composers,
the workshop will culminate in the final two
days of recording sessions, featuring New York's
top-tier musicians. Previous workshops have
featured players from the New York Philharmonic
and The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.
Participants will leave with a professional
digital demo of their work. Recording sessions
last year were sponsored by the Neumann Microphone
Company, and were recorded by Grammy winning
engineer Jim Anderson. The workshop will continue
to be taught by some of today's most creative
composers -- past workshop composers and presentations
have included Buddy Baker, Elliot Goldenthal,
Stephen Endelman, Carter Burwell, David Spear,
and Sonny Kompanek. ASCAP will feature lectures
throughout, in addition to those presented by
the NYU Director of Scoring for Film and Multimedia,
Ron Sadoff and NYU Art Department Faculty and
renowned author on Performance Art, Roselee
Goldberg.
For the benefit of auditors and participants,
all faculty and participant interactions, lectures,
and comments will be amplified and projected
to large screens. Auditors will attend all proceedings,
including the live recording sessions and critiques.
The workshop will take place in the Frederick
Loewe Theatre at New York University's Steinhardt
School. Up to 20 participating composers will
be accepted into this year's workshop. Updated
scheduling information and downloadable applications
will be posted at: .
