Fans of Film Music 2018 – Event information
The event Fans of Film Music, organized by its founder and president Peter Hackman, is close to celebrating the 9th edition on Saturday, August 25th, 2018, consisting of a conference/meeting, where famous composers interact with fans of film music, to exchange opinions related to the world of soundtracks.
The event, which has been held annually at The Bridge Recording Studio in Glendale (Los Angeles), has unfortunately received bad news lately, as the studio will be closing its doors next September, and no more recordings or events will be held there, so it looks that the 9th edition of Fans of Film Music will be one of the last memories of the venue.
The full line-up of this edition includes 6 guest composers:
- Stephen Endelman, who has more than 70 works for film and television, among which we can highlight the movies The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain, O Jerusalem or Home of the Brave.
- Laurent Eyquem, known for his original, melodic and lyrical style that enhances the emotional weight of the visuals it supports, who has composed the soundtracks for movies such as The Red Tent, Enragés, Copperhead or Nostalgia.
- Jeff Russo, who in addition to composing for film and television, still plays music with his rock band. Two-time GRAMMY and Emmy-nominated, Jeff Russo is the author of many TV series soundtracks, such as the recent Santa Clarita Diet, Altered Carbon, Legion, Counterpart, and Star Trek: Discovery among others.
- Bruce Rowland, who comes all the way from Australia just to attend the event. In the mid-sixties Bruce wrote the music for children’s television programs Magic Circle Club and Adventure Island. His first film was The Man from Snowy River (1982), which won Bruce his first AFI award. Following, he wrote the scores for Phar Lap (1983) and Rebel (1985). Bruce composed scores for over 40 films in Australia and the USA since then.
- Pinar Toprak was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey, where she began her classical musical education at the age of five. As a teenager she moved to Chicago to study jazz, then to Boston for a degree in film scoring from Berklee College of Music, and following she came to Los Angeles, earning a master’s degree in composition at age 22. Pinar has written music for diverse movies with over 40 feature film credits to date, including The River Murders, the period drama The Lightkeepers and the Superman prequel series Krypton.
- Ludwig Göransson was born in Linköping, Sweden, and during his career he’s been a composer, record producer, musician and songwriter for many projects. A few of his many feature film credits include We’re the Millers (2013), Creed (2015), Central Intelligence (2016) and the highest grossing film this year, Black Panther (2018).
