It is difficult to imagine a composer that knows how to perfectly define moments on film with music, yet each time I watch a film scored by Deborah Lurie, I realize her abilities as a composer give her the great gift of creating movie magic. Blending a perfect balance of melody and color, Deborah Lurie has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music industry. She has served as a string arranger for dozens of pop artists in addition to providing additional music for scores composed by Danny Elfman, Christopher Young, and John Ottman. In our special Episode 4 of FilmTracks, we will dive into her creative process - what inspires her, and how she continues to have a unique voice in the composing world. Highlights include Footloose, 9, An Unfinished Life, and her string arrangements to 'A Thousand Years' by Christina Perri from the Twilight: Breaking Dawn soundtrack.

Album of the Week

Independent artists have always been at the forefront of social and cultural change, and it was only a matter of time before someone recognized that combining film and this style of music could transcend film to unimaginable heights. In this week's episode, Andrew and Jessie will dive into some obscure and overlooked albums composed by indie artists - their lasting impact on us, and some neat scenes that highlight the genius behind the music. Is there a push to get more indie artists to do soundtracks? Is this still an 'indie' feature film style, or is it bleeding into the majors? Tune in at 5PM today to hear the discussion and some cool music.

Star Wars. Alien. James Bond. All these films have one thing in common - memorable titles. Whether it be the end credits or the intro to a movie, film titles remain one of the main elements of a film that can literally define it. What would Star Wars have been without the opening credits and John Williams score? Much, much different. Whether it be for film or television, creative credits sequences and the corresponding music is something to look for in any film. Join Andrew and Jesse as they dive into a discussion of a few of their favorite movie/television titles, and why they are significant.

Why are soundtracks important? What makes a good soundtrack? What about Oscar predictions? Andrew and Jessie dive into the elements of a soundtrack and score, and why they're important. Starting with a cool intro to the hit television series THE BORGIAS with score music by Trevor Morris, one can get a sense of what the show is about before even seeing one scene. Jessie will talk about the opening scene from 50/50, and why it makes a perfect opening sequence. While music is an integral part of the aesthetic of any film, and these are clear creative choices that can make or break a story on the big screen. Of course, the Oscars are coming up with a variety of nominations spanning a wide range of composers - Andrew will talk about the details and his prediction for the winner, while Jessie will dive into the process of nominating Best Original Song, and its process. Jessie will also go into why comedy lends itself better to VA soundtracks, and which music supervisors to look out for.
