Led by high-profile professional composers who daily work on composing music for visual media. Starting from scene analysis, going through ideation, moving on to producing the mock-up and culminating in the orchestral realization with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, with whom Ennio Morricone won the Oscar for the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, and finally the final mixing.
In a didactic process that unfolds in three steps leading from theory to its practical application on stage, from composition to the recording of a 3-minute piece for each participant, with the guidance of teachers every step of the way, for a total duration of 7 days, 8 hours per day, over a period of 1 month.
From theory: the history of film music and the great composers who perfected the language of writing for images, the generation of meaning, and the development of music in relation to images and editing.
To practice: the presentation of the scene to be scored; the use of software, samples, and plug-ins; the development of an original piece of about 3 minutes, orchestration and work on notation software, and the final production of scores for the orchestra.
The unique thrill of experiencing the recording of one's own approximately 3-minute-long musical piece with a live orchestra, the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, one of the absolute best orchestras in the world, conducted by Enrico Goldoni, in person in Prague.
Students with prior orchestral conducting training will also have the opportunity to try their hand at conducting their own piece under guidance.
The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the mixing of one's own piece live on the legendary AMS/Neve 88 RS 48 console, with legendary outboard gear such as the Teletronix LA-2A or the Chandler Limited EMI TG 12413 Zener Limiter and Chandler Limited EMI TG 12345 Curve Bender, with the expertise of Goffredo Gibellini, an internationally acclaimed sound engineer who has engineered and mixed the scores for productions that have made a significant mark, including the Academy Award-winning film “The Great Beauty” by Paolo Sorrentino, as well as “The New Pope” and “Youth,” both by the same director, or even “Pinocchio” by Matteo Garrone, featuring the Academy Award-winning soundtrack by Dario Marianelli, among many others.
The right approach is acquired through experience. The course aims to have the student work with the real methodology of those who daily face the difficulties related to managing and directing creativity applied to audiovisuals in the most efficient and effective way possible. It also allows the student to record their work with a large symphonic orchestra, retaining full ownership of the musical piece.
* It is recommended to use a small portable MIDI keyboard with a modulation wheel or external MIDI controller
