Media music

A few weeks ago I started an evening class at a London university, entitled Media Music: Composing for Film and TV. One of our assignments is to compose music from scratch to a given (and pretty detailed) brief on this San Miguel beer advert below.

So far the class has been fascinating getting insights into the many industries that are involved in composing in the media and to what is like to work on projects first-hand by our teacher Nainita Desai – her website is www.soundology.com. Getting to listen to her industry stories on her music is a massive learning experience.

Got until April to attempt the assignment so I’ll post what I come up with sometime after then.

I hope to do it justice, I quite like San Miguel
