He also founded the SESAC Scores: Beck Diversity Project\, committed to creating opportunities for underrepresented composers to contribute to and advance the field of film and television composing. \nHe’s well known for his score to the Golden Globe®- and Oscar®-winning animated film Frozen\, the soundtrack for which achieved Platinum status 11 weeks after its release\, sold more than one million copies\, and reigned No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart for five weeks.

Fury of the Gods\, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief\, the Disney+ series Hawkeye\, and marvel studios’ WandaVision – which received four nominations for best Original score from the HMMA\, WSA\, SCL\, and the Primetime Emmys. His collaboration with acclaimed director Doug Liman resulted in two high-grossing action features starring Tom Cruise:Edge of Tomorrow and American Made.  Beck’s catalogue of blockbuster action comedies include the Warner Bros. feature Due Date as well as Date Night and Free Guy\, both directed by Shawn Levy. \nBeck’s diverse body of work also includes acclaimed dramas such as McG’s We Are Marshall\, Under the Tuscan Sun starring Diane Lane\, Shana Feste’s romantic drama Endless Love\, the Good Kill starring Ethan Hawke\, and the indie feature Saved! starring Jena Malone\, Mandy Moore\, and Macaulay Culkin.

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!

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!

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!

SUMMARY:Leith Stevens' War of the Worlds Online Score Study
DESCRIPTION:Embark on an exploration of Leith Stevens’ remarkable score to the 1953 science fiction classic\, “War of the Worlds.” Despite not being widely recognized now\, Stevens was a towering figure in his day. In the 1930s he worked at CBS radio\, alongside Bernard Herrmann\, before moving on to compose for Hollywood films in the 1940s. He soon became the preferred composer for director George Pal\, crafting the scores for a trio of iconic 1950s sci-fi films: “Destination Moon\,” “When Worlds Collide\,” and “War of the Worlds.” \nStevens’ unique compositional techniques have significantly influenced the musical language of science fiction\, employing devices like stacked fourths and fifths\, melodic leaps of a seventh\, and tritone-related progressions\, which have become associated with the genre’s depiction of space and the extraterrestrial. \nIn 1954\, Stevens was instrumental in establishing the Composers and Lyricists Guild of America\, the forerunner to the current Society for Composers and Lyricists\, leading it as president for eight years. His work in the 1960s expanded into television\, where he collaborated with the then-emerging John Williams on “Lost in Space.” \nOur discussion will delve into the potential compositional links between Stevens and Williams and explore the impact of one of Stevens’ instructors\, the Russian composer and theorist Joseph Schillinger. A relatively enigmatic and underexplored figure\, Schillinger contributed unconventional music theories that possibly inspired a generation of Hollywood composers to experiment and innovate\, shaping the distinctive sound of film music during that era. \nWe will be joined by special guests William H. Rosar and Tom Schneller! Having taught film score analysis in USC’s Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television Program\, William H. Rosar is a musicologist and college lecturer specializing in the history of Hollywood film music. He is also founder and former president of the Film Music Society and editor of The Journal of Film Music. \nTom Schneller is a composer\, music theorist\, and author\, and has taught film music at Cornell University\, Ithaca College\, and Eastman School of Music. \nThis online score study is FREE for all ASA members! Please sign up to be a member here. The Zoom link be sent via email the day before the event. It will also be posted on our website. \nWatch the score study preview with ASA member Josh Lucan!

SUMMARY:Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Online Score Study Part III
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 17th\, we’ll be continuing our journey into one of the 20th century’s greatest works\, Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. This upcoming study will focus on the Infernal Dance in Movement V. Written for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes company in 1910\, it was the first of several momentous collaborations between the two men\, and interestingly\, was before Stravinsky rose to fame. In May 2023\, we started our study\, and the video from that study is available on our site for Orchestra and Philharmonic members to watch. Now it’s time to crack open that score again!\n\nIf you missed the first part\, catch up here (https://scoringarts.com/eventlibrary/stravinskys-firebird-suite-part-1/) but even if you don’t have time\, there are many pearls of composition and orchestrational genius that we’ll delve into in the new sections.\n\nThis event will be held on Zoom at 10am Pacific Time\, and we welcome all of our members (Chamber\, Orchestra\, and Philharmonic) to join for free. If you’re not a member\, sign up for any tier of membership (including our free tier\, Chamber) to get access to the live event. The link will be sent out the day before the event\, and also posted to our home page. Please spread the word via socials and we hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Michael Kamen's The Iron Giant Score Study with Chris Siddall
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first ASA event of 2024\, as we open the pages of Michael Kamen’s masterful 1999 score for The Iron Giant. This animated sci-fi film was based on a novel from 1968 and was brilliantly brought to life by Brad Bird (in his directorial debut) and Michael Kamen (in his first score for an animated movie). Set during the Cold War in 1957\, the film centers on a young boy named Hogarth Hughes\, who discovers and befriends a giant alien robot. With the help of a beatnik artist named Dean McCoppin\, Hogarth attempts to prevent the U.S. military and Kent Mansley\, a paranoid federal agent\, from finding and destroying the Giant.\n\nThe score to this film is published by Chris Siddall Music Publishing (https://www.chrissiddallmusic.com/store/p58/Iron_Giant_In_Full_Score.html) and we encourage ASA members to purchase the score ahead of time in order to enjoy the study. But even if you don’t have the score in hand\, we’ll be showing excerpts from it and\, in true ASA fashion\, breaking it down into its component parts to understand how Kamen got these magical sounds for his score. The movie itself can be streamed with a Paramount Plus Apple TV Channel subscription\, or can be rented or purchased from most major streaming platforms.\n\nThis event is FREE for all ASA members! Sign up for membership here. The Zoom info will be sent out the day before the event.

SUMMARY:The Music of John Williams with Special Guest Mark Richards
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a detailed exploration of John Williams’ action music with film music scholar and educator\, Mark Richards. Through several decades of study and published research Dr. Richards has uncovered an array of harmonic techniques Williams utilizes for his action writing\, including the employment of more exotic scales such octatonic\, hexatonic\, an Hungarian minor as well as dissonant bass notes and polychords. We’ll discuss how Williams crafts specific action chords from these elements\, tailoring them for varied cinematic needs – be it general action sequences\, moments of emphasis or conveying particular emotional associations. \nFor a hands-on understanding\, our study will concentrate on two particular cues from the original Star Wars trilogy: “Attacking a Star Destroyer” from “The Empire Strikes Back” and the Rancor Pit scene from “Return of the Jedi.” Through Mark Richards’ expert guidance\, attendees will gain invaluable insights into the meticulous crafting of music that has delighted us as filmgoers but frequently puzzled us as composers and analysts. \nThis is a free event for ASA members! Members will be given the Zoom link the day prior to the event. Sign up to become an ASA member here.

SUMMARY:Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Online Score Study Part. II
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, July 29\, we’ll be continuing our journey into one of the 20th century’s greatest works\, Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. Written for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes company in 1910\, it was the first of several momentous collaborations between the two men\, and interestingly\, was before Stravinsky rose to fame. In May\, we started our study\, and the video from that study is available on our site for Orchestra and Philharmonic members to watch. Now it’s time to crack open that score again as we focus on the third and fourth sections\, the Variations and the Rondo.\n\nIf you missed the first part\, catch up here (https://scoringarts.com/eventlibrary/stravinskys-firebird-suite-part-1/) but even if you don’t have time\, there are many pearls of composition and orchestrational genius that we’ll delve into in the new sections.\n\nThis event will be held on Zoom at 10am Pacific Time\, and we welcome all of our members (Chamber\, Orchestra\, and Philharmonic) to join for free. If you’re not a member\, sign up for any tier of membership (including our free tier\, Chamber) to get access to the live event. The link will be sent out the day before the event\, and also posted to our home page. Please spread the word via socials and we hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Garry Schyman and the Music of VR Game Torn
DESCRIPTION:Father’s Day with the ASA! Join us this Sunday morning\, June 18th\, at the Autry Museum Theater\, as we welcome back acclaimed composer Garry Schyman to talk about his score to the VR game Torn. \nTorn explores the abandoned mansion of the famed Dr. Lawrence Talbot\, who went missing decades earlier. It begins as a narrative puzzle game reactivating the mysterious machines that bring the mansion to life\, and then evolves into a dark\, character-driven story slowly uncovering the truth about Talbot\, discovering in the process a new dimension called “The Parallel.” Garry’s musical score sets a misleadingly beautiful atmosphere amid the bizarre gadgets and disturbing experiments\, isolated deep within a forgotten forest hiding a dark secret. \nThe soundtrack for Torn was released on Varèse Sarabande Records. \nWe will look at an orchestral suite of the score\, which is being performed Sunday evening as part of the GLOCKE ImPuls »GAME SYMPHONY«by the Landesjugendorchester Bremen in Germany\, and talk about the genesis of the various themes and textures\, as well as how they were integrated into the gameplay. \nThis event is at the Autry Museum in Griffith Park! Ample free parking available. Lunch will not be provided for this event\, but we will informally meet afterwards at the Museum Cafe! All are welcome to attend this event\, but ASA members will receive a discount.  \nSign in to your account to see your promo code below! \n\n\n \n \nBecome an ASA member here!\n \nGarry Schyman’s award-winning music can be heard in nearly every audio-visual media\, including feature films\, prime-time television\, and video games. His haunting orchestral scores for the globally acclaimed video games BioShock\, BioShock 2\, and BioShock Infinite have earned him multiple awards\, including top honors for Best Original Score from the British Academy of Film & Television (BAFTA) and the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. \nAs one of the world’s most celebrated composers of video game music\, Schyman is notable for his versatility of style and unique ability to fluidly draw from multiple eclectic sources of inspiration. He captured the fantasy world of Tolkien for the adventure game Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor (nominated for a BAFTA award) and Middle-Earth: Shadow of War and paid playful homage to ’50s sci-fi with his score for the game Destroy All Humans! (followed by two sequels). He accelerated heartbeats with his thunderous orchestral score for EA’s Dante’s Inferno and gave a nod to the hypnotic style of Bernard Herrmann in the mystery game Voyeur.
