  • 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.

  • Nature of Elliot Goldenthal's Music
    The Nature of Elliot Goldenthal’s Music & A Focus on Alien 3 (& other scores) There is “something different” about Elliot Goldenthal’s music. There is also considerable brain and brawn in Elliot Goldenthal’s film music. His style is difficult to label because his approach is so eclectic depending on the project. Sometimes I feel he is fundamentally an independent art-house composer (perhaps Frida, say, and The Good Thief) although he can demonstrate thrilling orchestral power in scores such as Sphere and the Batman movies that I personally quite enjoyed. Overall he shows a Late Modernist temperament, musically an American Bohemian, but nevertheless grounded somewhat in the mainstream traditions (certainly at least traditional notation). His polystylism (eclectism) is a postmodern characteristic. An excellent example of polystylism is his score for Titus (and Good Thief to a lesser extent, and even an example or two in Alien 3) with the diverse or even odd juxtaposition of genres (symphonic-classical, rock, etc.) that represents in one score the type of projects he collectively undertook over the last fifteen years or so. There is not one clear-cut musical voice, in other words, but a mixture or fusion of different styles. It is, in part, his method of organization. Loosely speaking, his music is avant-garde but certainly not radically so--as in the case of John Cage with his aleatoric (random) music and quite non-traditional notation (although Goldenthal’s music can at select times be aleatoric in effect when he utilizes electronic music, quarter-toning, and other devices). He is experimental and freewheeling but certainly this tendency is not overblown and expanded into the infinite! He definitely takes advantage of what technology has to offer (MIDI applications, timbre sampling, synthesizer usage, etc.) but does not discard what traditions are useful for him to express his vision of musical art.

  • May 2018 Newsletter
    May 15, 2018 Creators of Film and Television Music NEWSLETTER A n E n t e r t a i n m e n t I n d u s t r y O r g a n i z a t i on The President’s Corner Journey’s End from Charley Londoño My term as president of the California Copyright Conference (“CCC”) has been one of the most rewarding and fast-moving periods of my life. When I was elected as president, I spoke about (1) increasing membership; (2) increasing the visibility of the John Braheny Scholarship Fund; and (3) providing quality panels with interesting topics. Rarely is reality better than the dream. However, in this case, I believe, collectively as an organization, the CCC surpassed imagination. I wish space permitted me to list all of the accomplishments with specificity, but, I think the growth in membership, increased donations to the scholarship fund, and increased attendance at our panels, speaks volumes of the CCC’s accomplishments. Moreover, to add to the CCC’s accomplishments, the Apollo Awards, as well as the CCC’s Mentorship/Ambassador program, were both launched this year and have now become staples of the CCC’s initiatives. No one succeeds in this business without the help of others, and, I would like to thank the CCC’s officers, board, and members for a successful year. My heart is humbled by the amazing privilege of service as your president. Thank you for the opportunity and the journey. Best, J. Charley Londoño, Esq.

  • LOLITA Opéra Imaginaire D’Après La Roman De Vladimir Nabokov Composé Et Arrangé Par Joshua Fineberg
    LOLITA Opéra imaginaire d’après la roman de Vladimir Nabokov composé et arrangé par Joshua Fineberg 1. Argument Spectacle multi-média pour danseurs/acteurs, voix, ensemble, électronique et vidéo Mon travail a longtemps porté sur la question des sources (modèles) de la réalité et de leurs représentations (réalisations) dans les œuvres artistiques. C'est un thème central dans toute la musique spectrale, de la synthèse orchestrale d'un trombone dans Partiels de Grisey à l'analyse/re-synthèse en temps réel de l'ensemble instrumental dans ma propre pièce Empreintes. Ce rapport (du modèle à la représentation) est presque toujours destructif. Le modèle semble pauvre une fois que l'artifice l'a révélé dans une plus riche apparence. Un « original » qui devrait résonner dans sa « légitimité » est accablé par la force de sa transcription. Pour moi, c'est là la vraie histoire racontée par Lolita de Nabokov. L’œuvre de Nabokov a suscité beaucoup de polémiques et a été adaptée en diverses réalisations dramatiques (les plus notables étant deux grands films); cependant ces adaptations se sont toutes concentrées sur ce qui est peut-être l’aspect le moins intéressant du roman – son intrigue. Pour moi, l'idée vraiment essentielle de l’œuvre est la nature en soi destructive de la transcription artistique d'un personnage, d'un événement, d'une scène ou d'un son. Transposant une adolescente réelle en une vision sublimée Humbert la tue de fait et place un double à sa place (ironiquement il la détruit assez complètement dans la réalité). Le vrai personnage féminin est vu seulement de temps en temps et à travers des aperçus furtifs (comme ses yeux rougeoyants, brillant en de rares occasions derrière un masque ornemental).

  • Pressive and Photographs So Beautifully, He Is Extremely Strong in This Role,” Comments Masterson
    “YESTERDAY WAS A LIE” PRODUCTION INFORMATION A groundbreaking new noir film, YESTERDAY WAS A LIE is a “soulful and thought- provoking metaphysical journey” (Talking Pictures). Award-winning writer/director James Kerwin -- “one of these young guys on the edge of a digital revolution” (Soundwaves Cinema) -- crafts a thrilling, intricate detective drama that teases the boundaries of reality. Kipleigh Brown “exudes Bacall” (Slice of SciFi) as Hoyle, a girl with a sharp mind and a weak- ness for bourbon who finds herself on the trail of a reclusive genius (John Newton). But her work takes a series of unforeseen twists as events around her grow increasingly fragmented... discon- nected... surreal. With a sexy lounge singer (Chase Masterson) and a loyal partner (Mik Scriba) as her only allies, Hoyle is plunged into a dark world of intrigue and earth-shattering cosmological secrets. Haunted by an ever-present shadow (Peter Mayhew) whom she is destined to face, Hoyle discovers that the most powerful force in the universe -- the power to bend reality, the power to know the truth -- lies within the depths of the human heart. “Like Blade Runner before it, YESTERDAY WAS A LIE manages to meld film noir and science fiction into a fresh new world unlike anything we’ve seen be- fore” (iF Magazine). Also starring Nathan Mobley, Warren Davis, Megan Henning, Jennifer Slimko, and famed ra- dio personality Robert Siegel. 2 ABOUT THE PRODUCTION YESTERDAY WAS A LIE is the brainchild of writer/director James Kerwin, who made a splash in 2000 with his multi-festival-award-winning short film Midsummer.
