Michael Paraskevas and Agatha All Along

Join us for a special session with composer Michael Paraskevas as we dive into the Emmy-winning Agatha All Along. Michael will walk us through the creative process behind his score and share insights on collaborating with Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Michael’s co-score to Agatha All Along conjures a spellbinding sonic journey down the Witches’ Road. Drawing from classic horror movie influences and broken instrumentation, the music shifts from haunting suspense to twisted playfulness, echoing Agatha’s mischievous unpredictability. From psychedelic rock and ’80s synths to witchy folklore and modern pop production, it brews an eclectic soundscape that subverts the traditional superhero sound and provides a unique storytelling voice to the Marvel Universe. Don’t miss this behind-the-scenes look at one of the most memorable musical moments in recent TV history. This discussion will be moderated by Tim Davies.

As always, we will be providing coffee, light pastries in the morning and lunch following the event. This event is open to everyone! ASA members, please sign in to your account to view your discount code below.
