SUMMARY:Joe Hisaishi's Howl's Moving Castle Online Score Study
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we take a close look at Joe Hisaishi’s remarkable score for “Howl’s Moving Castle.” As the iconic musical voice behind almost every film to come out of Japan’s famed Studio Ghibli\, Hisaishi’s collaboration with legendary filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki has birthed some of the most evocative soundtracks in animated film history. We will be paying close attention to how he constructs unforgettable ear worms as well as his unique blend of classical\, minimalist and Great American Songbook idioms within a film music framework. \nThis is the second part of our in-person event on August 19th. You do not need to have attended to join us online! This event is FREE or our members. We will be sending out the Zoom link the day before the event. Not a member? Join here! \n

SUMMARY:Inon Zur's Score to Starfield
DESCRIPTION:The ASA is thrilled to welcome back acclaimed composer Inon Zur\, to discuss his recent score to the Bethesda Softworks game “Starfield”.

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.

SUMMARY:Christopher Willis and the Music of Cat Burglar
DESCRIPTION:Join us on June 10 as special guest Christopher Willis joins us to discuss his Emmy-winning score to Netflix’s interactive cartoon Cat Burglar (2022). The show was the brainchild of Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker\, who wanted to expand on the technology behind the choose-your-own-adventure Black Mirror episode “Bandersnatch”\, while also creating a loving homage to the work of MGM animation pioneer Tex Avery in the 1940s and 50s. The music\, in turn\, pays tribute to the work of MGM’s resident musical genius Scott Bradley. Whereas Carl Stalling typically worked with the entire Warner Brothers studio orchestra\, Bradley at MGM worked with a smaller group\, part big band and part Schoenbergian chamber orchestra. Chris embarked on a deep dive into Bradley’s work\, scoring the show for the same line-up used for countless Tom & Jerry cartoons. Where Cat Burglar notably differed from the classics\, of course\, was that the music had to adapt in real time to the almost limitless number of possible paths the player might take\, forcing him to grapple with how 1950s cartoon music can meet the demands of a 2020s video game.\n\nThis is an in-person event taking place at the Laemmle theater in NOHO! You do not have to be an ASA member to attend\, but we offer discounts to our members.\nWe will provide coffee and pastries prior to the event. The theater concession stand will also be open.\n5240 Lankershim Blvd\, North Hollywood\, CA 91601\n\n\nSign in to your account to see your promo code below! \n\n\n \n \nBecome an ASA member here!

SUMMARY:Igor Stravinsky's The Firebird Score Study
DESCRIPTION:The Academy of Scoring Arts is ready to kick off a new long-form study\, looking at one of the greatest musical innovators of the 20th century\, Igor Stravinsky\, and the suite from his 1910 ballet\, The Firebird. Written for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes company\, it was the first of several momentous collaborations between the two men\, and interestingly\, was before Stravinsky rose to fame. Throughout Stravinsky’s life\, he revised the score to the suite at least three times. The ASA volunteer team is hard at work on a new\, custom engraving of the work\, correcting various mistakes from older editions and readying it for detailed study in signature ASA fashion\, where we’ll have the ability to zoom into specific instruments and solo or mute at will\, enabling us to dissect the orchestration in great detail to understand how Stravinsky’s sound was put together. \nAll ASA members (including our free tier\, Chamber) are welcome to join us for this virtual event for free! This will be the first event in a multi-part study series on the Firebird. Zoom info will be sent the day before the event.

SUMMARY:David Newman's Galaxy Quest at the Mayflower Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, May 13 at 10am for a rare talk with veteran composer and conductor David Newman\, as we talk with him about one of his most popular scores\, 1999’s GalaxyQuest. We may also touch on some of his other gems! \nDavid is one of today’s most accomplished creators of music for film.

SUMMARY:Jerry Goldsmith's Mulan Score Study
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, March 18 as we examine Jerry Goldsmith’s seven-minute overture to Mulan. Veteran ASA members know that we love taking apart a Goldsmith score\, and this Academy Award nominated score offers a rich treasure trove into the fantasy writing that perfectly marries Disney with Jerry. We’ll play back the score and talk about its composition and orchestration\, and isolate elements so we can learn from the master.\n\nWe encourage attendees to purchase an inexpensive digital copy of the score ahead of time. This score was created by publisher Chris Siddall (https://www.chrissiddallmusic.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html) and was meticulously engraved from Jerry’s original manuscript. It is available for only $14.99 at SheetMusicPlus here: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/suite-from-mulan-score-only-digital-sheet-music/22292435 While we will be showing portions of the score during the event\, we always find there is far more to dig into than we have time for\, so we encourage you to get your own full copy and support the efforts of masterful engravers like Chris\, who are constantly bringing new scores to life.

SUMMARY:John Williams' Superman Score Study Part III
DESCRIPTION:Our original Superman event back in November has spawned a trilogy of studies! The symphonic suite from John Williams’s Superman started with the villain theme (Lex Luthor and Otis)\, which consumed our first study\, then the love theme (“Can You Read My Mind”) which occupied our second study\, and now we’re on to the third and final theme\, the big Superman hero theme! Join us on ZOOM Saturday\, February 4 at 10am Pacific. As with our other score study events\, our volunteers have helped us create a MIDI mockup and custom engraving of the score\, so we’ll be able to take it apart and dig into some of the details of the amazing orchestral writing that John Williams is famous for. All ASA members (including our free tier\, Chamber) are welcome to join us for this spellbinding event.

SUMMARY:John Williams' SUPERMAN Score Study Part II
DESCRIPTION:We had a blast dissecting the villain theme at our first Superman score study event\, so much so that we ran out of time! It was an invigorating discussion\, focusing on Williams’ clever use of dissonance and scales to represent the characters of Lex Luthor and Otis. On Saturday\, December 10th\, we’ll continue our exploration of John Williams’ 1978 Superman score. For Part 2 we’ll look at the romantic harmonies and orchestration of the gorgeous love theme.\n\nIf you missed part 1\, it’s now available on our web site (https://scoringarts.com/eventlibrary/john-williamss-superman-suite-part-1/). Make sure to check out the highlight clips there\, and you can also peruse the actual study score we’re looking at (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUtwBc3VrsQ).\n\nPart 2 of the Superman study will be held on Zoom.

SUMMARY:John Williams’ Superman Score Study
DESCRIPTION:On November 5\, we return to the music of John Williams with our first-ever look at one of his most memorable and enduring scores\, Superman (1978). We’ll take apart the symphonic suite and take a close look at the villain theme\, the love theme\, and of course the main hero theme. John Williams has proved himself a master of so many genres within film scoring\, and although this score was written in the same era as Williams’s first Star Wars score (1977)\, it’s stunning to hear a such a contrasting approach to the character of the music. The Superman score has subtle romantic overtones that augment the superhero angles. We’ll look at all of this and much more! \nThis study will take place on Zoom\, and we welcome all our ASA members (Chamber\, Orchestra\, and Philharmonic) to take part. If you’re not yet a member\, sign up on our site. Even our free membership (Chamber) will get you in to this event. The Zoom URL will be mailed to all members the day before the event\, and will also be posted to our home page. Orchestra and Philharmonic members\, of course\, get access to more than 150 other studies that we’ve done\, and we encourage you to check out (https://scoringarts.com/videos). \nAfter our score study\, we’re partnering with the American Youth Orchestra\, who is performing Superman live-to-picture at UCLA’s Royce Hall at 4pm. This performance is their 14th annual Hollywood Project Concert\, and conductor Caros Izcaray will bring the entire score to life live on stage with Los Angeles’s best youth musicians. The Academy of Scoring Arts is grateful to the AYO for extending a special ASA discount to attend the concert. \nTicket link: https://www.aysymphony.org/14-annual-hollywood-project-concert-2022/\nPromo code: AYS4 ($4 off)

SUMMARY:The Music of Guild Wars 2 with Maclaine Diemer
DESCRIPTION:Join us on July 24th as special guest Maclaine Diemer takes us behind his music for the hit game Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons! End of Dragons is the third expansion for Guild Wars 2\, and one that presented a special challenge: how to revisit a fan favorite area from earlier iterations of the game while re-imagining it with more respect and sensitivity. Taking inspiration from Korean history and culture\, the soundtrack needed to weave Korea’s unique musical traditions with the familiar sounds of the Guild Wars franchise. Maclaine will go through the process of educating oneself as an outsider\, early missteps\, incorporating Korean voices into the team\, and ultimately shining a light on a form of music that is sorely underrepresented in Western media. Attendees will learn how they can expand their creative boundaries\, understand and meld disparate musical traditions\, and re-invent the sound of a well established franchise\, all while avoiding the pitfalls of strip-mining a culture for commercial purposes.\n  \n\nThis is an in person event! We will be returning to our old stomping grounds: Vitello’s in Studio City! Ticket price includes coffee\, pastries and LUNCH!\n  \nNon-members – $30\nChamber – $25\nOrchestra – $10\nPhilharmonic – FREE\n\nSign in to your account to get your promocode!\n\n\n\n\n \n \nBecome an ASA member here!\n\n\n\nABOUT MACLAINE DIEMER \nMaclaine Diemer is a composer for interactive and traditional media. After graduating from the Berklee College of Music in Boston\, he entered the rock and roll rat race\, climbing speaker towers and playing to sold out crowds across the U.S. and Canada with several bands before entering the game industry. \nNow\, with 14 years of experience in games\, he has worked on some of the highest profile titles across multiple game console generations as well as PC. An insatiably curious musician and multi-instrumentalist\, he works in a wide variety of styles. Whether performing stripped down arrangements of his Guild Wars 2 score at the first Twitchcon or conducting a full orchestra in Boca del Rio\, Mexico\, Maclaine lives to carry the torch for game music all over the world. \nNotable credits include ArenaNet’s Guild Wars 2 and Harmonix’s Rock Band franchises\, Riot Games’ League of Legends\, and Amazon Game Studios’ first major original title Crucible. \nMaclaine lives in Los Angeles with his wife and his cat\, Mr. Darcy.
