The Australian Screen Composers Guild has launched its first national conference to be held at the Australian School of Film, Television and Radio in December.
At the AGSC Scoring Summit, Joff Bush and Daniel O’Brien unleash the Blugy Score, Cornel Wilczek, Alex Olijnyk, and Thomas Roach score horror movies, and Burkhard Dallwitz and Antony Partos dig into contracts, copyright, and creative control.
Montaigne, Dan Golding, and Yong Hall explore music in the game, and Elliott Wheeler and Jamieson Shaw appear in the conversation in a session titled “Composer X Music Editor.”
Naturally also featuring live musical performances, the event is designed to celebrate the work of Australian screen composers. We provide an opportunity to connect, learn, and share ideas across film, TV, games, trailers, and advertising while discussing key industry issues such as AI, copyright, and streaming quotas. Delegates can participate in-person or online during all live broadcasts of each session.
“This landmark event for Australian screen composers is designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of distance, time or cost,” said AGSC President Dale Cornelius.
Delegates will also be able to pitch their ideas and meet with decision makers in the screen industry, and legal advice and mentoring will be available.
The conference is supported by Screen Australia, Screen NSW and AFTRS and is run in partnership with the National Aborinal Torres Strait Islander Music Organization (Natsimo), Trackdown Studios and Apra Amcos.
“Our program spans film, television, games, trailers and advertising. It’s about learning about each other as storytellers, sharing creative approaches to the craft and sparking new collaborations,” said AGSC Screen Composer Member and Conference Artistic Lead Bronte Horder.
“Over the past four months, our panel of screen composers has created a program that provides insight and perspective to composers at every stage of their careers.”
The Scoring Summit will be held December 6-7. AGSC members will have early access to conference tickets in October, with tickets to the broader screen industry available thereafter.
Tickets will go on sale later this week.
