Mastering the Art of Living
The Reason I’m a Music Composer
The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and leisure, his mind and his body, his information and recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him, he's always doing both.

What is Production Background Music?
Production Music - Background Music
Production Music: also known as library music or stock music, refers to pre-recorded music tracks licensed for use in various media productions, such as films, television shows, commercials, video games, and online videos. These tracks are typically composed and recorded for background music to enhance a specific scene or project's mood, atmosphere, or narrative.
Background Music: as the name suggests, is the music played in the background of a production or any other context. Production Music is composed to complement the visuals or the main content and create a specific ambiance or emotional response. Background music can range from instrumental tracks to full songs and is often used to set the tone, create suspense, evoke emotions, or add energy to a particular scene or project. It plays a vital role in enhancing the overall viewer or listener experience.

What is a Film and TV Composer?
Here is an overview of what I do as a Music Composer:
A film and TV composer is a composer who specializes in creating music specifically for various forms of media, such as film, television, video games, commercials, and other multimedia projects. They work closely with directors, producers, and creative teams to compose music that enhances the storytelling, sets the mood, and evokes the desired emotions.
Music composers possess various skills and expertise in composing music across multiple genres and styles. They have a deep understanding of the relationship between music and visuals and how music can enhance the overall impact of a commercial media project. They are proficient in composing in different moods, tempos, and instrumentation to match specific scenes, characters, or brand identities. The composer creates original scores or soundtracks that align with the visual elements and enhance the overall impact of the media project.
Film and TV composers compose in various genres and styles to suit the specific requirements of each project. They can create dramatic orchestral scores, catchy jingles for commercials, ambient soundscapes for documentaries, electronic tracks for video games, or any other genre that matches the desired tone and atmosphere.
Collaboration is a significant aspect of a music composer’s work. They work closely with directors, producers, music supervisors, and sound designers to ensure that the music aligns with the project’s vision and meets the desired specifications. They also collaborate with musicians, vocalists, and recording engineers during production.
Film and TV composers often use digital audio workstations
(DAWs) and software instruments to compose, arrange, and produce music. They may also have expertise in mixing and mastering techniques to achieve a polished and professional sound.
Composers play a crucial role in shaping the background music of various media projects. Their compositions provide an emotional and atmospheric backdrop that enhances the audience’s engagement and connection with the visual content.
What is an Orchestrator?
Here’s what I do as an Orchestrator:
An orchestrator is a musician or music composer who arranges and adapts musical compositions for orchestral performance. We take existing musical scores or compositions and create arrangements specifically tailored for orchestras, including determining the instrumentation, assigning musical parts to different instruments, and adding nuances and expressive elements to enhance the overall sound and impact of the music.
Orchestrators work closely with composers, producers, or supervisors to bring their musical vision to life through the orchestral medium. They possess a deep understanding of various musical instruments, their capabilities, and their timbral qualities. By choosing the appropriate combinations of instruments, orchestrators can effectively convey the desired emotions, dynamics, and textures within a piece of music.
In addition to adapting existing music for orchestras, orchestrators may create orchestrations from scratch based on a composer's ideas or sketches. They can translate a composer's musical concepts into written notation that an orchestra can easily interpret and perform.
Orchestrators often work with various musical genres and formats, including film scores, television themes, musical theater productions, video game soundtracks, and classical compositions. Their role is crucial in shaping a musical piece's overall sound and impact, bringing depth, richness, and orchestral color to the music.
What is a Music Copyist?
Here’s what I do as a Music Copyist:
A music copyist, also known as a copyist, is a skilled professional who specializes in preparing written music scores and parts for musicians to read and perform. My primary task is to create clean and accurate instrument parts, ensuring that the notations, markings, and instructions are clearly presented and easily readable.
Copyists in the day worked with handwritten scores and meticulously transcribed them into a legible format by hand. Now, most scores are computer-generated using music notation software. Copyists pay close attention to details such as note values, dynamics, articulations, tempo markings, lyrics, and any other musical instructions the composer indicates.
In addition, copyists are also responsible for creating individual instrumental or vocal parts, ensuring that each musician or vocalist receives their specific sheet music. We organize the parts and layout the pages logically and practically, making it easier for performers to follow during a recording session, rehearsals, or performances.
Copyists often collaborate closely with composers, arrangers, and orchestrators, as they must accurately interpret their intentions and translate them into written form. We may be required to make minor corrections or adjustments to the music notation based on the composer's or arranger's feedback.
With the advancement of music notation software, most copyists now use computer software programs such as Sibelius or Finale to input, edit, and format musical scores. Using this software allows for greater efficiency, flexibility, and the ability to make revisions or generate multiple copies of the music quickly.
Copyists play a crucial role in ensuring musical scores' accuracy, legibility, and professional presentation, allowing performers to accurately interpret and bring the music to life. In the case of recording sessions for a feature film with 100 musicians plus studio costs, the cost per hour adds up quickly. It's not unusual for these extraordinary musicians to record the first take, having never seen the material before - sight reading.
The copyist's work contributes to the smooth execution of recording, rehearsals, and performances, providing musicians with the necessary musical materials to perform at their best.
