2024 RE-CONNECT《Live Film Music vs. Life as a Film Composer 》Sofa Sonata Vol.10

Introduction

How do you turn an improvised idea consisting of just a couple of notes played on a piano into an elegiac piece of music for orchestra, while making sure it fits the scene it is intended to support?
And how do you sleep at night when you know that an already tight schedule has basically been cut in half because your taking over from someone else who has been working on that project before but didn’t get approved?
Taking a film that is both, part fictional, part documentary and it’s music that is both, part symphonic and part minimalistic in nature as an example, we will hear some of this music performed live, take a look at its creation and discuss a number of common questions related to the work of a film composer. These can be both artistic or pragmatic in nature. And few of the answers might surprise you.
