This week, we're going in the exact opposite direction as last week talking about one of the most quietly revolutionary figures in modern music: Arvo Pärt. That's right, we're pivoting HARD from death metal to neoclassical music. Strap in! We go deep on his early works, his religious conversion, and his shift into the sparse, meditative style known as tintinnabuli. Along the way we discuss how his music achieves emotional intensity through restraint, why he basically disappeared for several years, and how his minimalist compositions have become unlikely mainstays in film and television. Expect talk about Soviet censorship, spiritual longing, and just how hard it is to make music that seems this simple. If you've ever cried to Spiegel im Spiegel, you'll understand.

“I can go back to when I was sixteen, and I was at a movie theater and I was watching a really great scene in a movie where the violinist was, like, moving his bows, you know, the camera was like panning around him. And I got to the end of that scene, and, like, he lifts his bow up, and I started clapping in the theater. And I realized that that film had just totally taken me out of the movie theater and put me in, like, a concert hall. And I was like, ooh, I want to do that. I want to basically use sound to bring people to another world, and I pretty much at sixteen decided I wanted to be a film composer.” – Sherene Strausberg This episode's guest is an Emmy-nominated art director and a unique creative, combining her experience in film, music, and sound engineering with graphic design and illustration. She creates animated videos for her clients at the company she founded almost ten years ago, 87th Street Creative. She knew at the age of sixteen that she wanted to be a film composer, and, after ten years of pursuing that while also working as a broadcast engineer at National Public Radio, she changed careers, first to graphic design and then to motion design. Motion graphics returned her to her true passion of how sound and moving images together can immerse the viewer and listener. Combining this with her desire to work with clients who believe in sustainability and social justice, 87th Street Creative has worked with nonprofits and businesses that help make the world a better place.Her name is Sherene Strausberg, and our conversation covers a range of topics, from how sound enhances visuals to the role sound plays in helping her clients promote their brands. Whether you're an ad creative, have a company that's looking for an innovative way to reach your clients, or you're just interested in the power of sound, we could all learn a thing or two from her experiences.

(0:00:00) - From Film Scoring to AnimationOur discussion starts off with a look back at a pivotal memory in Sherene's life, the moment when, as a teenager, she realized she wanted to work in sound. “I was watching a really great scene in a movie,” she recalls, “where the violinist was, like, moving his bows. You know, the camera was panning around him. And I got to the end of that scene and like he lifts his bow up and I started clapping in the theater and I realized that that film had just totally taken me out of the movie theater.” She shares her journey from the Indiana School of Music, where she studied music and played piano, to working in Hollywood as a film composer. “What you learn in school,” she says, “is a very small piece of the puzzle, and learning how to manage client relationships, how to find work, how to manage projects and manage the funds and fees and all the financial sides of it, I mean, none of that I got out of

In this episode of Modern Producer Secrets, Adam Reifsteck sits down with composer Caleb Swift to delve into the intricacies of building a successful career in composing for TV and film.  A pivotal moment in Caleb's career was his association with Gargantuan Music, where his music was utilized in an ad for the largest crime-show crossover event of the year, the BBC Network Prime-Time Event "Casualty/Holby City". He discusses the importance of feedback from publishers and how it helped him refine his craft. This experience underscored the value of perseverance and continuous improvement in achieving success. Caleb also emphasizes the significance of building relationships with publishers and providing value to them, rather than directly approaching music supervisors. He likens this to forming trusted vendor relationships in any business. This approach helped him secure opportunities with top-tier publishers like Really Slow Motion Trailer Music, Hypersonic, and JDM, further elevating his career. Throughout the interview, Caleb highlights the competitive nature of the industry and the high standards required to succeed. He advises aspiring composers to focus on honing their craft, taking feedback constructively, and building strong professional relationships to navigate the complex landscape of music production for TV and film. Listeners will find Caleb's insights and experiences invaluable, providing a realistic and practical roadmap for anyone looking to transition from a side hustle to a sustainable career in production music. Producer & Host: Adam ReifsteckEdited in Descript.

In this engaging episode, we delve into the creative processes and philosophies of Music Composer & Music Producer Dario, who emphasizes the importance of evolving with the ever-changing sync industry. Dario discusses the significance of constantly acquiring new instruments and plugins to stay inspired and invigorate his creative process. He highlights his preference for tactile interaction with real instruments, which often sparks new ideas and unique sounds that samples cannot replicate. The conversation also covers the potential impact of AI on music, with Dario advocating for maintaining the human touch in creation, believing that AI cannot fully replicate the authenticity and emotional depth of hands-on music-making. Additionally, the episode explores Dario's experimental EP "Anomaly," a purely artistic project blending organic and synthetic elements, showcasing his ability to push creative boundaries without commercial constraints. He emphasizes the value of collaboration, working with lyricists and other musicians to enhance his projects and bring out the best in each endeavor. Reflecting on the importance of both formal education and self-taught skills, Dario encourages musicians to master core skills while exploring new technologies and techniques. Tune in to discover how Dario's insights can inspire and elevate your own musical journey. Guest Bio: Dario is composer, producer, song-writer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles. He has a certificate in Film Scoring at UCLA Extension in Los Angeles, a bachelor degree in “Music Sciences and Technologies” at Università degli Studi di Milano, and earned several diplomas in Arrangement, Theory, and Guitar Performance from many prestigious classical and modern music academies in Milano, such as the Conservatory “G. Verdi”, CPM and NAM. After many years of touring across Europe, the US and Asia, Dario started writing and producing music for visual media. His work has ranged from writing and performing the theme for Ubisoft's best selling video game ‘Rocksmith', to composing the theme songs for Ambie-nominated podcasts “Bunga Bunga” and “Do No Harm” (Wondery), as well as scoring a variety of independent films, documentaries, and television shows like Hulu Original documentary "We Live Here: The Midwest" and National Geographic's "Called to the Wild.” About the Hosts: We're Sonnet Simmons and John Clinebell, 2 indie artists who have found success and creative fulfillment through licensing our music for ads, TV shows and films.  We were once so disheartened and discouraged that our music wasn't being noticed or valued through traditional methods. So we both started on a journey to find another way. For us, that “third door” was sync!

Eve Essex is a composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Brooklyn, NY.

Essex's second solo album The Fabulous Truth will be released in LP, cassette and digital formats by Soap Library in June 2024.

My guest this week is engineer Alan Meyerson, who many believe is the top scoring mixer in film today. With more than 200 credits, Alan has worked with leading film score composers like James Newton Howard, John Powell, Harry Gregson-Williams, and Danny Elfman, and has a particularly long-standing working relationship with the great Hans Zimmer that continues to this day. Alan's credits as a scoring mixer include blockbuster movies like Man of Steel, Iron Man, the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Inception, The Dark Knight, Kung-Fu Panda 1 & 2, Despicable Me 1 & 2, The Last Samurai, Gladiator, and Hannibal. In addition to this, he also has a number of music mixing credits that include Bryan Ferry, New Order, Etta James, and OMD. During our interview, Alan told me about being a part of the first wave of dance music, making the transition to film work, his approach to orchestral recording, why he isn't into vintage microphones, how he tailors his reverbs, dealing with 750 tracks of orchestra, his adventures at Abbey Road, and much more. I spoke with Alan from his studio in Los Angeles.  On the intro I looked at the possible TikTok ban in the United States, and the Caesar's Palace console finds a new home with UA.

Greg DeVore discussed the need for a fundamental shift in the approach to training and knowledge transfer, moving away from a one-size-fits-all solution towards a more tailored and efficient approach that aligns with the way people work. He introduced the "Find and Follow Framework", which empowers employees to work independently and handle various situations effectively. Greg also highlighted the Framework's applicability to different businesses, emphasizing its potential to address inconsistencies in customer service and operational procedures.Greg DeVore is the co-founder and CEO of ScreenSteps, a company dedicated to helping organizations transfer knowledge to their employees more efficiently. His career in training began 20 years ago in the film scoring industry, where he taught composers to utilize Apple's Logic platform. This experience paved the way for opportunities to design e-learning solutions for medical devices for prominent companies such as GE, Siemens, and Philips. As the CEO of ScreenSteps, Greg collaborates with organizations of various sizes to replace ineffective training programs with efficient knowledge transfer strategies, enabling them to onboard employees at least 50% faster. Greg holds a degree in Composition and Film Scoring from the Berklee College of Music. He resides in McLean, Virginia, with his wife and four boys, which explains the abundance of broken items in their home.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Let's look at the music of Star Wars! So much of what we associate with the galaxy far, far away is connected to the soundtracks composed by John Williams. We take a look at the diagetic music of the films, from the cantina band tracks to the celebratory songs by Ewoks and Gungans. We also examine the common musical themes that John Williams built into the audio DNA of the saga, as well as musical pieces that may have influenced Williams in his composition. Our guest expert is Dr. Jason Giachetti, who teaches music at the college and high school level. He has a doctorate in music education, with an emphasis on percussive instruments. In Star Warsologies, hosts James Floyd and Melissa Miller combine their love of Star Wars with their keen interest in all things academic by asking experts about how their field is represented in a galaxy far, far away. It's a monthly podcast about science and Star Wars! To better understand the music, Dr. Giachetti prepared a presentation that showcases the musical notation in the score, and the YouTube version of this episode has his slides synched up to the podcast audio. You can watch the original Jabba's Palace song on YouTube. Watch the end of A New Hope without any music! Here's Darth Vader's scene with a romantic song playing. Redouble our efforts indeed! Check out the Hans Zimmer Master Class that Jason mentioned.  And here's the books he recommended: The Film Music of John Williams by Emilion Audissino Creative Strategies in Film Scoring by Ben Newhouse  Musical Composition: Craft and Art by Alan Belkin

Morten Lauridsen has written choral music that has deeply moved people around the world. As one of America's most beloved and also most performed composers, he received the National Medal of Arts in 2007. His works O Magnum Mysterium, Dirat-on, O Nata Lux, and Sure On This Shining Night have become the all-time best selling choral octavos distributed by Theodore Presser Music. Not only a composer but also a teacher, he taught at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music for 52 years (!), was head of the composition department from 1990-2002, and founded the school's Advanced Studies in Film Scoring program, now one of the most important film scoring programs in the world.Early in his life, Morten Lauridsen was a fire fighter in the Pacific Northwest, so I ask him how his 10 weeks alone in a lookout tower pointed him in the direction of music. From there he discusses his studies at the University of Southern California under the tutelage of Halsey Stevens and Ingolf Dahl, two giants in the world of music. And then we begin our discussion of his composing career with a deep dive into perhaps his most famous work, O Magnum Mysterium.Dorico Professional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.
