Film Music Concerts: The Emperor’s new Clothes? Interesting times for soundtrack buffs! Ghent, Krakow, Malaga, Tenerife, Vienna, Prague... Film & media music events are popping up all around Europe. The biggest ones are based on concerts and claim to gain awareness for media music, develop new concert practices for orchestras, and bring new audiences to the ivory towers of high culture. But didn’t some wise film music critic tell us, that the best film music is the one that merges with the picture? Treat or threat: How far do concerts change the object of desire? The International Film Music Critics Association IFMCA meets the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik. With Eleni Mitsiaki (Kinetophone), David Serong (Cinema Musica), Jörg Gerle (filmdienst), talking to film music / concert composer, and mediamusic e.V. board member Gregor Schwellenbach.
In the martial arthouse movie TIGER GIRL, improvised dialogues collide with choreographed fighting scenes. What were the artistic challenges and how do audio post production and music composition differ from “classic” working processes? How was the collaboration of the post production department organised and how were impulses from shooting, editing, sound and music picked up? Manuel Meichsner (sound supervisor, sounddesigner), Valentin Finke (re-recording mixer, dialogue editor) and Golo Schulz (composer, producer) will reply to composer and mediamusic e.V. board member Andreas Grimm.
