SUMMARY:Scoring Americana and the Hollywood Western Sound
DESCRIPTION:The ASA is excited to be joined by composer and orchestrator David Krystal to take a look at Aaron Copland’s Rodeo and how he utilized techniques from it in a cue from his brand new album! \n“Tunes in the Key of Hollywood” is an EP release of classic Hollywood-style film tunes recorded with a 70-piece orchestra at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City\, CA. Filled with colorful orchestrations\, soaring tunes\, and drama at every turn\, it’s a thrilling adventure that should satisfy all fans of the genre. \nDavid began working with composer Benjamin Wallfisch to orchestrate the Gore Verbinski thriller\, A Cure for Wellness\, starring Dane DeHaan and Mia Goth. Shortly afterwards\, he re-teamed with Wallfisch\, legendary composer Hans Zimmer\, and world-renowned artist Pharrell Williams as the Supervising Orchestrator of the Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures. David has continued working with Wallfisch on DC blockbusters Shazam! and The Flash.\n\nFollowing the success of Hidden Figures\, David went on to orchestrate some of the most successful horror films of all time\, including It\, Annabelle Creation\, and It: Chapter Two. Additionally\, David contributed to Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece\, Dunkirk\, and Ron Howard’s gripping drama Thirteen Lives. David is also a frequent collaborator of composer Trevor Gureckis\, whose work can be heard on the 2021 M. Night Shyamalan thriller Old and the Amazon Prime series Hunters. \nOther recent projects include orchestrating the Apple TV+ drama series The Crowded Room\, orchestrations on Joseph Shirley’s score to Creed III\, and orchestrations for Nick Urata on the Awkwafina Hulu comedy feature Quiz Lady. In early 2024 David launched the orchestration company\, David Krystal Music Service (DKMS). \nNEW VENUE! This event will be held at the First Baptist Church in Glendale. \n209 NORTH LOUISE STREET\,\nGLENDALE\, CA\, 91206\nPaid parking available nearby.\nASA members!

SUMMARY:Music of Scavenger's Reign with Nicolas Snyder
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we talk to Nicolas Snyder about his music for the rapidly emerging cult hit Scavenger’s Reign\, a breathtaking animated sci-fi series now streaming on Max. Board member Josh Lucan contacted Nicolas only a few minutes into watching the first episode because he found the music so unique and inspiring. Snyder describes himself as a forager and you will find this an apt term. He will take us through his process of manipulating found sounds and material from the internet into his unique textures and timbres. While electronic textures are now commonplace in film music\, Snyder’s idiosyncratic approach effectively situates the story in an unfamiliar and alien environment. We will also delve into the evolution of the score\, discussing how he navigated the four-year hiatus between the first two episodes to develop melodic themes from the primarily textural first episode. \nSomewhat buried in the ocean of content we swim in these days Scavenger’s Reign is rapidly emerging by word of mouth as a modern sci-fi classic. If you haven’t seen it yet\, join our watch party. We will screen the first two episodes on March 29th\, 7pm\, the night before the event and hang out and discuss over chat. \nMARCH 29th 7pm – WATCH PARTY!\nWe will be holding a free\, private watch party of the first two episodes of Scavenger’s Reign the night before the event! All ASA members with a Discount account are invited to come hangout\, chat\, and preview the show and the music. To join the livestream\, you must have a Discord account and join the ASA server. You will have to follow the instructions on the Welcome page of our server before you get access to other channels. \nDiscord Server link: https://discord.gg/KUS7P65RJz\nDiscord Watch Party Event link: https://discord.com/events/958891035344400394/1219758451790446783\n\n  \nMARCH 30th – Score Study at the Lyric Hyperion (NEW VENUE!)\n2106 HYPERION AVENUE\nLos Angeles\, CA 90027 \nCoffee and pastries will be available for purchase at the venue.

SUMMARY:Kevin Kiner and the Music of Ahsoka
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, April 14th at Laemmle North Hollywood as we welcome back Kevin Kiner to discuss his score to the recent hit show “Ahsoka” on Disney+! This is Kevin’s first foray into live action Star Wars\, but hardly the beginning of his involvement in the Star Wars Universe\, having previously scored over 200 episodes of the animated shows “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels”.\n\nKevin will talk about his process of going from mockup to stage\, recording each episode with live orchestra at the Newman Stage on Fox Studios. Joining Kevin will be his co-composers Sean and Deana Kiner\, discussing their own contributions to the score. Orchestrator Nolan Markey will also be joining to discuss the collaborative process. We’ll be digging into specific cues from the series\, hearing how Kevin’s music has evolved from both the original scores from the films and his own themes from the previous shows\, as the characters make their transitions from animation to live-action. Kevin will also be printing out a limited number of scores to give out on a first-come\, first-serve basis!\n\nAnnie Award-winning composer Kevin Kiner has also been honored with multiple Emmy and other Annie Nominations\, and won 20 BMI Film & TV Awards\, making him one of the most versatile and sought-after composer in Hollywood. Over more than a decade\, working with George Lucas and Dave Filoni\, Kevin scored all seven seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars\, which earned him the 2021 Annie Award for “Best Music – TV/ Media” for the series finale episode “Victory and Death”\, as well as a Primetime Emmy nomination. His other diverse credits include HBO Max’s Peacemaker\, Netflix’s Narcos: Mexico\, HBO Max’s Titans and Doom Patrol\, Showtime’s City on a Hill\, AMC’s hit series Dark Winds and Hell on Wheels\, CBS’s CSI: Miami\, and CW’s Jane the Virgin. From his intimate\, soloistic guitar music to his grand orchestral music\, Kevin has transported audience from deserts to metropolises – and even to a galaxy far\, far away. \n  \nASA members!
