Invisible Melodies: An Evening with Howard Shore

Invisible Melodies: An Evening with Howard Shore | Soundtrack | Scoop.it

Howard Shore is one of the most decorated Canadian composers to date. He has earned three Academy Awards and countless other accolades. He has worked on 90 films over 35 years. His filmography includes the beloved Lord of the Rings trilogy, almost all of David Cronenberg’s films,The Silence of the Lambs, Hugo, Mrs. Doubtfire, Se7en,That Thing You Do!, and Gangs of New York. And this is a very incomplete list. He also composed, I recently learned, the intro music for Saturday Night Live, having grown up with Lorne Michaels in Canadian theatre. Born in Toronto, he gave us the great pleasure of returning home and giving a Q&A led by Richard Crouse. Presented by the CFC and the Slaight Family Foundation, here are a few excerpts from “An Evening with Howard Shore” the night of May 9th at TIFF Bell Lightbox.

Former Massive Attack collaborator Craig Armstrong reveals plans for next solo album
Christopher Coleman's insight:

It's good to see composer Craig Armstrong finally get some press, but the interviewer is clearly more interested in his pop, vocal work than Armstrong's scoring work on the film.  It is Rolling Stone, so I suppose that's what the audience there would be more interested in.  Still, the interview could have been slightly more balanced.

The Passionata Project - Oklahoma Tornado Relief Film Music Memorabilia Auction

The Passionata Project - Oklahoma Tornado Relief Film Music Memorabilia Auction | Soundtrack | Scoop.it
Christopher Coleman's insight:

In my work as a freelance photographer I am fortunate enough to travel the globe capturing an array of sights and emotions in the film music world. Waking up this morning to see the scenes from Moore, a suburb outside of Oklahoma City made me thankful for everything I am fortunate enough to do.


It was seeing the scenes of complete destruction that kick started my efforts into organising a silent auction for the 'RED CROSS RELIEF FUND' to be run through my Passionata Film Score Photography page. Many emails, messages and phone calls later and I have been overwhelmed by the generous response from the film music community. And now I am calling out to the amazing fans of film music to help me out.

1 Month After Launch, Twitter #Music App Is Officially A Flop - hypebot | Soundtrack | Scoop.it
Just a month after launch, Twitter's entry into the music space appears to have fallen flat. As if today, the app languishes as the 113th most popular free iOS music app.
Christopher Coleman's insight:

Without integration into Tweetdeck or 3rd party feeds, this was doomed from the start.  However, it's not too late.  At least get it worked into Tweetdeck and you could save it...otherwise Google Music and Spotify will eat the rest of Twitter Music's lunch.
