zircon Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Posted this in another forum: A few friends of mine tipped me off to this event, which is being hosted by Film Music Magazine in NYC. It's a one-day thing with various panels and discussions involving pro composers who make their living primarily from doing music for films, TV, video games, etc.http://www.composerexpo.com/ There's also a West coast version, in Los Angeles, on September 27th. Now, even if you're not interested in music for film, for example, I think there are some very relevant panels for just about anyone in the biz. Check the schedule; http://www.composerexpo.com/schedule-ny.html If anyone else from here is going, please let me know. We can all grab some lunch together.

zircon Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Considering there is an entrance charge and you're not a composer you probably wouldn't get much out of it... but for anybody in the industry it should have some good info and allow for nice networking opportunities.

Dyne Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Wish I would've known about this myself. I would've gladly gone. Yeah yeah, I'm not a remixer (yet) and I'm still learning, but still, hearing about what these composes do on a daily basis and what they know, I think it's still relevant if you want to know what you're getting yourself into, at least, in a general sense.

José the Bronx Rican Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I didn't notice this until this morning. Couldn't make it, but I considered going out there after the event to catch up with you guys and shoot shit for a while. That didn't work out either. At least we got two of us repping the HD Remix product. Hope the networking was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Was awesome. Jimmy and I got up at 6am and got there around 8am. Schmoozing the whole day up until 8pm... I met and talked to Tom Salta and Paul Lipson, president of AudioGANG, and pimped OCR. Tom was down for an interview which I'm sure Dave, Larry and I will be talking about soon. We also met a lot of other great guys, including Joel Douek, a TV composer that eerily reminds me of BT (and has gear to match.) I spent most of my own time spreading the word about Impact Soundworks and our upcoming Sitar Nation sample library. Ended up getting back at about 11:45pm and immediately collapsed.. my voice was shot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
