WSA Film Music Days - Shifting Sounds: Electronic Waves in Minimalist Film Music

From the early experiments by pioneers to today’s wave of younger generations, minimalist screen music artists continue to reimagine their approach to electronic techniques. In this panel, composers Martin Phipps (Napoleon) and Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch (All of Us Strangers), and recording projects manager Cassandra Gurling reflect on their encounters with minimalist techniques (e.g., repetitive patterns of intimate harmonies) and the role and implications of electronics, ambient music, and soundscapes in the present conjuncture of minimalist screen music.

Panelists:
