  • CSA Interview MASTER
    Amin Bhatia & Ari Posner – Canadian Screen Award Nominees Best Original Music for a Series – X-Company: Black Flag SCGC member Janal Bechthold catches up with the Canadian Screen Award nominees Amin Bhatia and Ari Posner to give you a little look into their process of scoring for the TV series, X-Company. This is their second nomination, having received a Best Original Score nomination for the series in 2016. X-Company is an “emotionally-driven character drama, set in the thrilling and dangerous world of WWII espionage and covert operations. It follows the stories of five highly skilled young recruits.” ~CBC.ca SCGC: How is the premise of X-Company meaningful to you? AB & AP: As a Canadian, to learn about how Camp X in Whitby Ontario and our intelligence forces helped to defeat the Nazi regime was very inspiring. It needs to be said that especially this year we've become acutely aware of world events in the US and how this story is an uncomfortable foreshadowing of what could repeat itself if we do not pay attention. SCGC: What was the biggest challenge you faced during this project? AB & AP: For this particular episode ,"Black Flag", our heroes had to assassinate a high-ranking German general during a night at the Opera. So it created many musical challenges, ranging from ritzy jazz themes and remixes, operatic rearrangements of Gabriel Fauré, ambient terror, orchestral action, and pure tragedy with a Nazi reprisal attack on innocent citizens. Thanks to the co-ordination of the cast and crew we actually wrote the source music months before to be used as playback on set as well as helping the picture editors set the pace and feel of the show.
