| Composer Elena Maro - ‘Advice and More' | 28 Aug 2024 | 00:30:28 | |
Hi everybody, welcome to GIG I’m your host Mike Redman. Please subscribe, follow, and like this podcast so that I can reach as many artists as possible. The ratio of successful female composers to male composers is approximately four to one. I'm not sure why that is because if you listen to the music that they create Trailers,Straight ahead film scores, action, drama, you name it the only difference is creativity and style … which is not gender specific. AND if a score requires great sensitivity, female composers at least in my opinion win hands-down. Elena Maro is an extraordinary composer and her energy and dedication should be an inspiration to anyone considering this field of work and a career as a Music Composer.

| Cristobal Tapia de Veer - Composer for White Lotus | 04 Apr 2024 | 00:26:52 | |
I don’t actually watch a lot of TV but I do love an entertaining , well written and produced show. I’m not sure how I stumbled upon White Lotus but it would be one of my top picks for a ‘must see’, they take chances. It has smart humor, and more over some of the most original, accessible, and inviting music on television. The composer behind the score is Chilean-Canadian film composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer or as I have come to know him ‘Cristo’ Cristo is not what you think of as a typical film composer… what I mean is that he is an experimenter, creating sounds from nothing , combining textures, defining rhythms and finally happily marrying them to picture doing more than creating an ambiance. Cristo’s music helps to define the scene or cue, it helps to breathe life into it. Visit GIG with Mike Redman @ | |||

I had a casual conversation with legend Josh Rabinowitz, who Fast Company called the new music mogul the Cannes Music Jury calls, a musical genius. As many of you know, I made a great living, writing music, primarily for advertising, because that's where the real money was at the time.
