ASCAP Workshop Schedule
The 2008 NYU/ASCAP Foundation Film Scoring Workshop in Memory of Buddy Baker
May 20 - 29, 2009 at The Frederick Loewe Theatre
Following in the vision and legacy of Buddy Baker, the 2009 NYU Film Scoring Workshop will continue to present the rich traditions of classical Hollywood film scoring. Dedicated sessions will address timing, orchestration techniques, and conducting. MIDI mockups, a staple in today's scoring chain of production, will be featured. Participants will choose a clip from a number of varied choices. The workshop will culminate in a full day of recording sessions, featuring New York's top-tier musicians. All previous workshops have featured players from the New York Philharmonic and The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.
Participants leave with a professional digital demo of their work. The workshop will continue to be taught by some of today's most creative composers and orchestrators - MARK SNOW, DAVID SPEAR, DAVID MATTHEWS and NYU film scoring faculty members IRA NEWBORN, DENIZ HUGHES, MIKE PATTERSON and RON SADOFF. ASCAP will also feature additional presentations on the art and business of film music with director and music supervisor ALEX STEYERMARK.
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. All sessions of the workshop will take place in the Frederick Loewe Theatre at New York University's Steinhardt School. Up to twenty participating composers will be accepted into this year's workshop. For further information, contact Ron Sadoff at 212-998-5779 or by E-Mail at ron.sadoff@nyu.edu.
