Conrad Pope Synchron Stage Vienna

There is a very interesting article about the famous Synchron Stage Vienna
Did "Sissi: The Young Empress", "Dune" and the Netflix series "The Crown" have something in common? Their film music was recorded at the Vienna Synchron Stage. Hardly anyone in Vienna knows the building in the 23rd district (and its dark history) - but composers like Hans Zimmer are enthusiastic about it. One of the next Marvel blockbusters is also set to get its music here.
Was haben "Sissi: Die junge Kaiserin", "Dune" und die Netflix-Serie "The Crown" gemeinsam? Ihre Filmmusik wurde in der Vienna Synchron Stage aufgenommen. Kaum jemand in Wien kennt das Gebäude im 23. Bezirk (und seine dunkle Geschichte) - aber Komponisten wie Hans Zimmer sind begeistert. Auch einer ...

Photos from Walter Werzowa's masterclass; an intensive four-day production workshop in Baden, Austria!
Walter's class was a truly hands-on experience for the lucky participants who attended.
This workshop was the only one this year featuring live players as part of the curriculum.
Over the four days, the participants were trained in skills including using AI in music, pitching to a producer, presenting their work to a director, understanding the process of spotting sessions, producing high-end "effects" from sounds recorded with a phone, writing music for a specific scene, and utilizing live players to enhance their sampled mockups.
On the last day, we had a flutist, violinist, and percussion specialist join our class to record the participants' music that they had written for a scene. The students had a wonderful time experimenting with HMW's highly professional instrumentalists and walked away from the class with knowledge and experience to help them thrive in their future projects.
Thank you, Walter, for your expertise in AI and media music and for being such a stellar tutor.
Thank you to our participants for the intriguing questions and for bringing your musicality to HMW!
Last but not least, thank you to our instrumentalists; you were the cherry on top that made this class very special for everyone involved.

The scoring process will be discussed from spotting the cue, choosing hit points, finding a suitable tempo, and laying out the score. Examples will be shown demonstrating each element discussed.
Clips will be shown without the musical score and we will discuss the elements of the scene with attention to dramatics, character, timing, score set-up, special timbres and orchestration, as well as musical choices including harmony and melodic and rhythmic possibilities.
Students will each score a short clip, utilizing everything we’ve discussed. All assignments will be reviewed in class, after which the cues will be presented as scored by the instructors.

HMW USA
Welcoming our students to Hollywood Music Workshop USA from the following countries...
#HMWUSA #HMW2024
Composer, orchestrator, and conductor Mark Watters who will be teaching a class called Composing & Conducting: What’s important to me with MARK WATTERS in Baden/Austria from July 18 to July 21.
Learn more about Mark and his upcoming class by visiting: https://www.hollywoodmusicworkshop.com
Here's what HMW Dean Conrad Pope has to say about Mark:
"Mark Watters IS the film music Department of Eastman School- a brilliant jewel in America’s Crown of Music Conservatories.
If you’re serious about learning about not only the craft and art of film music, but also discovering the joy of it, then you need to come to Baden, Austria, this summer, to meet and learn from this extraordinary composer, conductor, and man.
When I first came to Los Angeles, I took Mark’s class in orchestration at UCLA. I remain- to this day- friends with my fellow students, whom I met in his class. And with some, to this day, we often work on major projects together.
Mark took a chance on me and gave me my first job- and my second.
Without Mark Watters, there would be no Conrad Pope - as you may know me today.
Take his class and change your life! He certainly did mine.
There is no higher personal recommendation."
Austin Wintory - HMW USA 2024

Over the past years we have seen so many of our former students succeed in the industry, working on exciting projects.
