Hello everyone and welcome to the next new episode of my podcast! In this episode, I am joined by composer, songwriter and music producer David Das. We talk about his background in studying music, arranging and composing and how the inimitable George Gershwin concert piece "Rhapsody In Blue" provided him so much inspiration and direction. Additional topics include writing music for all forms of visual media, whether trailers, games or dramatic projects, as well as his efforts as president of the non-profit group The Academy of Scoring Arts, which is an organization devoted to the study of influential classical, jazz and film music and is also a way for creatives in the industry to network. Lastly, we discuss various concert classical works, from Mozart to Debussy to Schoenberg and Stravinsky, and their collective influence on movie music, both compositionally and philosophically. You can find out more about David and his accomplishments at http://www.daviddas.com and The Academy of Scoring Arts at http://www.academyofscoringarts.org.
I also talk about the fascinating and entertaining new memoir by famed musician, film/TV composer and conductor Artie Kane, published by Amphora Editions, titled "Music To My Years: Life and Love Between The Notes", available at https://amphoraeditions.com/books/.
