The Film Music Network Presents "Composing and sound design: New outlets and new media"
Sponsored by Film Music Media Group, The Film Music Network presents Film Music Network Nights, a monthly networking series for professionals in the film and television music business. Most of the Film Music Network events focus on composing for film and television. This panel will discuss non-traditional outlets for composing, everything from music for a PDA (personal digital assistant) to the sounds in your cell phone. The panel will discuss topics such as product sonification, creating sound identity, humanizing technology, sonic branding, and corporate branding. After these brief presentations, attendees are encouraged to network.
Panelists include:
