DMP Long Onesheet 100120
! Emmy Award-winning composers Michael McCuistion, Lolita Ritmanis and Kristopher Carter constantly push the boundaries of collaborative innovation, resulting in hundreds of hours of music for a variety of different genres including series, films, video games and live performance events. They have collectively earned twenty-eight Emmy Award nominations and six Annie Award nominations as composers for projects such as “Marvel’s Avengers Assemble”, ”Justice League”, ”Teen Titans” and ”Batman Beyond.” Their Prime-time Emmy Award nominated musical “Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Mayhem of the Music Meister” starring Neil Patrick Harris was the historic first Batman musical to ever be composed. Original concert works and suites of their scores have been performed in festivals and special events; from New York’s Lincoln Center to The Hollywood Bowl, their music has received critical acclaim. They began their careers composing music for the iconic “Batman: The Animated Series” for LA scoring legend Shirley Walker. Conducting live orchestras recording their own music constituted the breadth of their early experience, cementing their connection to live musicians and the instantly-recognizable sound of the finest scoring stages. Simultaneously, as orchestrators they worked with many of Hollywood’s A-list composers, including Michael Kamen, Basil Poledouris, Howard Shore, Carter Burwell and Elliot Goldenthal on the biggest tentpole studio films of the time. As their careers progressed they each built their own recording studios, pursuing the latest technology and sound design in combination with their solid foundation of live orchestral scoring. This remarkable and very contemporary trio of composers and performers is an example of creative collaboration, business savvy, and artistic expression of the highest, most original level.

The music of women film, TV and video game composers takes center stage Grand Performances and The Alliance for Women Film Composers, in association with The Film Music Society and White Bear PR present The Women Who Score: Soundtracks Live with special guests Diane Warren, Raphael Saadiq, Lili Haydn, Butterscotch and more! LOS ANGELES – Music is an integral part of filmmaking, moving the story and touching the audience. Where would iconic movies such as Star Wars, Avatar, The Godfather, or Gone with the Wind be without its music? Would Downton Abbey, Dexter, or House of Cards be the same and have audiences glued to their TVs without music? Would gamers love immerse into Final Fantasy or Legend of Zelda if they were silent? Movie music has moved us all to cheer, cry, and fall in love for more than 100 years. Yet the vast majority of composers hired to create this vital part of Hollywood’s cultural landscape have been men. Well, that musical glass ceiling is about to crack! Grand Performances, the “Best Free Outdoor Summer Concert Series” in Los Angeles and the Alliance for Women Film Composers team up celebrate the music of women composers in film, television, video games and interactive media at The Women Who Score: Soundtracks Live, a free concert in downtown Los Angeles on Friday, August 19.
