Itay Talgam on conducting

I found this TED to be inspirational, and a real eductaion too. Always
interested in improving my conducting, but only getting real practise
a couple of times a year (I learned from a BMI summer nightschool),
this opened my eyes to some more of the possibilities.

The N&D tribe...

When individuals come together and find something that unites them that is greater than their individual competence then something very important happens; the group gels, and it changes from a group of highly motivated but fairly individually centric people into something larger, into a tribe that becomes aware of its own existance. Stage 4 tribes can do remarkable things.

Two of Rolfe Kent's recent scores, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and 17 Again, now receive their official score album releases courtesy of Silva Screen Records. The label notes that Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, the fantasy comedy starring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner that opened in the US in May, is "not just a romantic comedy score but also offers drama, as part of Rolfe's approach was to get the characters down in music, to give them musical motifs." Kent himself said that "For me Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past was an opportunity to do some big dramatic symphonic things."  The same goes for17 Again, also a romantic comedy but with a big orchestral score. "The music called for a full orchestra, and the players delivered such magnificent and dynamic sounds it really was a wonderful experience," Kent commented. Starring Zac Effron, 17 Again opened in the US in April.

So many things to tune

Trying to get organised before really getting stuck into Robert
Luketic's film 5 KILLERS. So I am tuning up my zithers, hamered
dulcimer, tambors and numerous other things. So many strings! It's the
first two that have the most, and are the most fiddly of course.
