Epic Trailer Music Composer Yoav Goren (Immediate Music)

By Marketing

The SoundWorks Collection talks with Composer Yoav Goren in his Santa Monica studio to explore the exciting and creative process of epic trailer music composing and producing.

About Yoav Goren:

Born in Israel and raised in New York City, Goren was born into a family of artists that includes a sculptor, painter, and filmmaker. Encouraged early to study piano, he was heavily influenced first by classical composers, and then by the Beatles and film composers Ennio Morricone, Jerry Goldsmith and John Barry. He started composing during his studies at NYU, where he graduated with a BA in Film and Television Production. After gigging and touring with several bands in the USA as keyboard player, Goren settled in Los Angeles where he met and worked with the legendary Leonard Cohen on the acclaimed CD The Future (1992) as arranger and co-producer. Also in 1992, Goren teamed up with fellow composer Jeffrey Fayman and founded Immediate Music, which has become one of the preeminent suppliers of original music for motion picture advertising.

From his first trailer score for Universal Pictures “Carlito’s Way” in 1993 to recent high profile campaigns for films such as “After Earth”, “Oblivion”, “Iron Man 3”, “Cloud Atlas”, “Argo”, “The Hobbit”, “The Dark Knight Rises”, “Amazing Spider Man”, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt. 2”, Goren and Immediate Music continue to provide cutting edge music to all major motion picture studios through both custom scoring and the acclaimed Immediate Music production library. With over 5,000 trailer-related synch licenses to date, the composing team of Goren and Fayman are arguably the world’s most-often utilized composers in the $3.3 billion motion picture advertising industry.

In 2007, Goren’s work on NBC’s “20th Torino Winter Olympic Games” earned him an Emmy Award for “Outstanding Music Composition in a Sports Program”. In 2008, Goren was the recipient of a composing award from BMI, of which he has been a member for over 20 years. In 2009, Goren became the first person to ever perform a live concert of trailer music compositions, as part of his “Trailer Music Live” performance series. Through his commercial record label Imperativa Records founded in 2006, Goren has trailblazed the public release and distribution of passionately pursued, yet rarely available epic trailer music; he was recently honored with the Vanguard Award by the Hollywood Music & Media Awards, in recognition of Immediate’s success as pioneering producers of trailer music. In 2012, Imperativa released the third chapter in Immediate’s acclaimed “Trailerhead” epic trailer music album series, “Trailerhead: Triumph”. In 2013, Goren celebrates 20 years at the helm of Immediate Music.

As president of Immediate Music, Goren works daily at the company’s studio facilities in Santa Monica, California, with regular forays to concert halls and studios worldwide to produce Immediate Music’s trademark orchestral recording projects.

The SoundWorks Collection talks with Composer Trevor Morris in his Santa Monica studio to explore a few of his recent projects and his unique approach to scoring his TV and film projects.

Emmy Award-Winning Composer, Trevor Morris received his 4th Emmy nomination in 2012 for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score) for Showtime’s THE BORGIAS, making him the most Emmy-Nominated Composer of the last two years. Morris is a prolific composer, scoring for both film and television. Most recently, he scored the music for director Antoine Fuqua’s highly anticipated thriller, OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, starring Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett and Aaron Eckhart.

Morris has earned multiple Emmy and Gemini Nominations and Awards for his work on Showtime’s THE BORGIAS, THE TUDORS and Starz Entertainment’s THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH. He won two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music, the first one in 2007 for THE TUDORS, the second one in 2011 for THE BORGIAS. Morris won two Gemini Awards in both 2010 and 2011 for Best Original Music Score for a Program or Series for THE TUDORS. In addition to Morris’ Emmy and Gemini wins, he was also nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special for THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH, and was nominated for two Gemini Awards for Best Original Music Score for a Dramatic Program, Mini-Series or TV Movie for THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH, and Best Original Music Score for a Program or Series for THE BORGIAS.

In October 2012, 300-plus members from the World Soundtrack Awards nominated Morris as Discovery of the Year for his work on IMMORTALS. The illustrious award recognizes film’s rising composing talent from the previous year in Ghent, Belgium. Oscar-winning composers Gustavo Santaolalla (“Brokeback Mountain”) and Michael Giacchino (“Up”) have received the award in the past.

In June 2012, Morris participated in The International Film Music Festival of Cordoba. At the Festival, guests and fans from all over the world gathered to celebrate music composed for film and television in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The Festival included several symphony concerts featuring last year’s best scores and classic scores. Only a few days after returning from Spain, Morris was in San Diego for the fan-favorite “Behind the Music with CW3PR” panel at Comic-Con. He also participated on the ASCAP Expo panel “Inside the Composer’s Studio with Trevor Morris.”

Morris is currently composing music for the next season of Showtime’s THE BORGIAS, History Channel’s VIKINGS, and ABC’s BODY OF PROOF. Morris’ music has also been heard in films and TV shows such as Relativity’s action-packed film, IMMORTALS; ABC’s 666 PARK AVENUE; SyFy’s ALPHA’S; NBC’s THE FIRM; Fox Atomic’s THE HILLS HAVE EYES II; NBC’s E-RING; Columbia and Warner Bros pictures’ SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE; Anchor Bay’s BEAUTIFUL BOY; NBC’s CHASE; CBS’ MOONLIGHT; CBS’ MIAMI MEDICAL; NBC’s KINGS; FOX’s JUSTICE; and Interactive Games such as EA’s NEED FOR SPEED: CARBON and COMMAND AND CONQUER.

The Canadian composer was born in London, Ontario, a few hours outside Toronto. At 13 years old, Morris was commissioned by his school, St. Mary’s School of the Arts, to score an original composition piece in honor of Pope John Paul’s visit to Canada. He was paid $50 and his music was performed on piano and by a 4-part choir at St. Mary’s Cathedral. Later, Morris attended Fanshawe College’s “Music Industry Arts” program, Canada’s most prestigious school for recording and production. Graduating at the top of his class, he moved to Toronto to work in music production. Morris eventually turned away from production and began to focus full-time on composing music for television commercials.

In 1999, he moved to Los Angeles to score for films and television. Morris has collaborated with some of the best directors in the business, including Jerry Bruckheimer, Neil Jordan, and Tony and Ridley Scott. In November 2011, the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles held an event in honor of Morris’ body of work.

An avid wine connoisseur, Morris is a certified Level 1 Sommelier, and also maintains a production company in Toronto with his business partners. He finished building a state-of-the-art Scoring Studio in Santa Monica that will rival any studio in the country. Morris resides in Los Angeles with his family.

He has also composed the music for the feature film A Rumor of Angels and Anne Frank: The Whole Story, which won an Emmy for best mini-series.

The Music of Star Trek Into Darkness

By Marketing

In this exclusive SoundWorks Collection profile we talk with the Music Conductor and Orchestrator Tim Simonec on the 20th Century Fox Newman Scoring stage for Director J.J. Abram’s new film Star Trek Into Darkness.

Synopsis

For years, Tim Simonec has been one of the busiest orchestrators in Hollywood. He has orchestrated and conducted over 70 feature films and 25 television series. He has also composed the music for the feature film A Rumor of Angels and Anne Frank: The Whole Story, which won an Emmy for best mini-series.

He has worked with Graeme Revell since 1991 as his orchestrator and conductor.Some of their films together are Pineapple Express, Daredevil, The Negotiator, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. In 1996, he began working with composer Chris Tyng. Their projects together included kazaam, The Associate, and the TV series Futurama. Since 1997, Tim has been working with Michael Giacchino as his conductor and orchestrator/arranger. Over the years their projects have included video games such as Medal of Honor, Call of Duty; TV series, Alias, LOST, Fringe; and films, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, The Family Stone, Mission Impossible 3, Star Trek, UP, and most recently, Super 8, Cars 2, MI4: Ghost Protocol, and John Carter. For his arrangement of the end-titles of UP, Tim was nominated for a Grammy.

Tim was born and raised in Chicago…making him, to this day, a die-hard Cubs, Bears, and Blackhawks fan. He began playing the organ and piano at age 8, and became the church organist at the ripe old age of 12! Despite his teen years at the keyboards, he chose to study theology in college. And while his intent was to become a minister, his love of music was a constant in his life. He arranged music for orchestra during college, and after graduation, Tim was hired to write a theme for a local television program. The moment he heard studio musicians play his composition, he realized his passion and career would be music.

Although Tim decided to pursue a career in film composition, ironically, he did so by writing the scores for 40 religious films. While recording music for a religious documentary in London in 1979, recording engineer Eric Tomlinson (Star Wars, Superman) was impressed with Tim’s composition and encouraged him to make the move to Los Angeles. Soon after arriving in LA, Tim was hired to compose music for Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and Family Ties.

All was moving along well until March of 1984. After experiencing debilitating numbness in his hands and a painful, stiff neck, Tim was diagnosed with a tumor on his cervical spinal cord. The operation to remove the tumor resulted in Tim becoming a quadriplegic. He was told he would never walk again. After thousands of prayers, the support and love of the woman who became his wife, and great determination, Tim learned to walk again. In medical terms, he is that rare phenomenon, a walking quadriplegic. He also regained partial use of his hands and is able to conduct orchestras.

Tim’s days at the keyboard were over but he knew he could compose, hopefully with the newest technology…the Apple computer! In 1986, he returned to pursue his passion and career in film music, which he continues to this day.

For two seasons, Eisler – a Czech-born, English-raised composer and multi-instrumentalist – has made Revenge into a musically-driven show. And as a conductor, he and a 50-piece orchestra bring his work to life. His dedication to finding the right melody for Revenge hasn’t been ignored. Variety described his music as “smoky, elaborate film noir-inspired compositions”, while Beatweek Magazine praised Eisler for making “beautiful music” that “…almost acts as another character further enveloping the audience in its grasp.”

Other film and television credits include songwriting for NBC’s ER, Lionsgate’s My Best Friend’s Girl, NBC’s Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Universal’s This Revolution, FX’s Thief, and upcoming indie film Growing Up and Other Lies.

Halo: Reach takes place in late 2552, during the Covenant invasionof the Human colony world Reach, which also serves as the main military center of the UNSC. The game follows Noble Team, a six-man special operations unit of one SPARTAN-II and five SPARTAN-III commandos. The player assumes the role of the team’s newest member, SPARTAN-B312 or “Noble Six” and will be defending Reach from its ultimate downfall at the hands of the Covenant. Over the course of the campaign, the players will visit various locales on and above planet Reach, including remote civilian homesteads, high-tech ONI facilities such as Sword Base, the metropolitan city of New Alexandria, as well as a segment of space combat in a Sabre fighter. The player will also encounter interactive indigenous creatures such as the Moa and the Gueta. Experience the fateful moments that forged the Halo legend. This is the story of Noble Team, a squad of heroic Spartan soldiers, and their final stand on planet Reach, humanity’s last line of defense between the terrifying Covenant and Earth. This darker story is echoed by grittier visuals amid a backdrop of massive, awe-inspiring environments. Characters, enemies, and environments are rendered in amazing detail by an all-new engine designed to deliver epic-scale encounters against the cunning and ruthless Covenant.

A carreira de compositor de Stravinski foi notável pela sua diversidade estilística. Inicialmente adquiriu fama internacional com trêsballets encomendados pelo empresário Sergei Diaghilev e executados pelos Ballets Russes de Diaghilev: L’Oiseau de feu (“O Pássaro de Fogo”) (1910), Petrushka (1911/1947), e Le Sacre du printemps (“A Sagração da Primavera”) (1913). A Sagração, cuja estreia provocou um motim, transformou o modo de pensamento dos compositores posteriores acerca da estrutura rítmica, e foi largamente responsável pela reputação duradoura de Stravinski enquanto revolucionário musical, forçando as fronteiras do design musical.

Após esta fase inicial russa, Stravinski virou-se para o neoclassicismo na década de 1920. As obras deste período tendem a utilizar as formas musicais tradicionais (concerto grosso, fuga, sinfonia), frequentemente disfarçadas com um veio de emoção intensa sob uma aparência superficial de distanciamento ou austeridade, muitas vezes prestando tributo à música de mestres anteriores, como J. S. Bach e Tchaikovsky.

Nos anos 1950 adoptou os procedimentos do serialismo, utilizando as novas técnicas ao longo dos seus últimos vinte anos. As composições de Stravinski deste período têm pontos em comum com toda a sua produção anterior: energia rítmica, a construção de ideias melódicas desenvolvidas a partir de algumas células de duas ou três notas, e clareza de forma, instrumentação e expressão vocal.

Também publicou vários livros ao longo de sua carreira, quase sempre com a ajuda de um colaborador, por vezes não nomeado. Na sua autobiografia de 1936, Chronicles of My Life, escrita com a ajuda de Walter Nouvel, Stravinski incluiu a sua famosa declaração de que a “música é, pela sua própria natureza, essencialmente impotente para expressar seja o que for.”6 Com Alexis Roland-Manuel e Pierre Souvtchinsky escreveu as suas Charles Eliot Norton Lectures (Harvard University,1939–40 ), que foram feitas em francês e mais tarde coligidas sob o título Poétique musicale em 1942 (traduzidas para o inglês em 1947 como Poetics of Music).[i] Muitas entrevistas nas quais o compositor conversou com Robert Craft foram publicadas como Conversations with Igor Stravinsky.7Colaboraram ainda em mais cinco volumes adicionais durante a década seguinte.
