Podcasts about catch the moon music

Cinder Ernst is a friend of mine who I met through the 6 Figure Songwriting cohort with Catch The Moon Music! She is one of the most refreshing, inspiring and real people I have had the pleasure of getting to know. Her bubbly personality is a force to be reckoned with and it is easily passed on to whomever gets the opportunity to be graced in her presence.

  This week I am talking with my friend and co-writer Hope Thal who lives in L.A.  She is a great film composer who has worked on multiple indie projects and is now on staff at Joy Music House which offers music preparation, orchestrating, and everything else that goes into creating a great score. Hope is also currently working behind the scenes on a top secret t.v. show for Dreamworks. We met when she was a guest speaker for a course I was taking and I reached out to her about writing together for tv and film projects. Thankfully she said yes and now we get to talk about her journey that has led her to this moment.  I know you will be encouraged by her story!Show Notes:Sponsors: Edenbrooke Productions - We offer consulting services and are offering listeners a 1-hour introductory special.

You’ll figure it out as you go.“Spotting Session” - Sitting with the executive producer to watch the show and talk about the score. When is the music in and out, deciding if the temp music works or if it needs to replaced.*My job is to take notes during the session and make the time code and make sure I’ve gotten everything they’ve talked about so that composers can just engage with the director or executive producer without having to write anything down.*After the composers create the music, I add all the music into Logic and do a Quicktime movie for pass number one, then send it over for review, get notes and keep going back and forth until it’s where they want it.*Occasionally I get to be the one doing the music editing.*I do all the printing of the stems which is taking the entire episode and separating all the tracks for the mixing stage.*I create lead sheets for the music which is writing out the melody line and chord chart from the audio.*What I’m doing now will produce fruit later if I’m just patient and be the best that I can at everything I’m doing.*What is some practical advice for scoring or composing or admin work?*Get involved in the community of whatever you are doing.*Most work has been through word of mouth, relationships, school, AWFC, Society of Composers and Lyricists.*The work you’re doing may not pay bills now, but it will lead to opportunities in the future. Small steps.*It takes an incredible amount of patience and trust that those are the results you’re going to get.*Your talent is important but you have to put time and energy into making sure people know you exist.*Patience and persistence!*It takes time to build that career.H.B.
