July 1 is always a good day for reflection, and I’ve had fun assembling a reel of the @joannkanemusic family over the past 25 years. Some have passed away, some have moved on to other ventures, and quite a few are still in our team, in a very different film music world from when we started. When I started quite a bit of the copying was by hand, printing was with an Ozalid machine, and email was a new concept!! Best wishes to all in any case, and let us know who you can recognize !! #filmmusic #musicpreparation #jkms #musiccopyist #musiclibrarian
I heard today from a piano tuner that 40 grand pianos they look after were burned up in the Palisades fire. Tragic. In a lighter moment here are two of the finest pianists I know discussing the finer points of tack piano style #johnwilliams #jw #filmcomposer #randykerber #piano
Mark walks us through his background and career path in music - starting as a trombonist to current work as an orchestrator and conductor for film and TV.
This is the first read through of the finale cue from @siddkhoslamusic score to #swapped. I didn’t realize that it was being filmed, as you’ll see from the exchange at the end!! #filmmusic #conductor #orchestra #abbeyroadstudios
Busy week. Different projects in progress and some interesting visitors. Nice to be involved in #devilwearsprada2 and #swapped opening the same week! #filmmusic #orchestration #conductor orchestra filmcomposers
Booklet part layout dilemma. To find out or not? To keep the percussion part as a mini score or not? Many different orchestras will be performing this. #film #filmmusic #filmcomposer #musicprep
Great night hanging with some music prep colleagues. Swapping stories and talking about all kinds of wonderfully nerdy things. #musicpreparation #joannkanemusic #onstaffmusic #goodtimes
