Dive into the Buma Music in Motion x ADE program
Buma acts as the Dutch collecting society for composers and music publishers and has a large network of experts on these subjects. They're inviting Stranger Things composers Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein to give a Keynote Speech on how they compose an original soundtrack that keeps their audience on the edge of their seat for four seasons. Another highlight for those who are looking to learn from some of the biggest names around is the panel 'Crossing Over: From Club to Screen' with Eelke Kleijn and Anna Meredith. What inspires them to compose for film in stead of making electronic music for clubs? The duo tells you all about it.
Tap into the mind of the most recent winner of the Buma Oeuvre Award Multimedia and composer, producer, and that of moderator Laurens Goedhart during the panel 'Deconstructing the Soundtrack: with Fons Merkies'. Together, they decompose the soundtrack of the family picture Storm: Letters van Vuur, in order to demonstrate the connection between sound, music, image and story.
