The Academy of Scoring Arts – ASA presents the event ‘The Music of Scavenger’s Reign with Nicolas Snyder’ to be celebrated today, Saturday, March 30th at the Lyric Hyperion in Los Angeles, where Nicolas Snyder will talk about his music for the rapidly-emerging, cult hit Scavenger’s Reign.

 

OFFICIAL 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.

 

Somewhat 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.
