Panel Recommendations For Friday October 23rd
Emmanuel Jal 1:00 – 2:00 / NYU Kimmel Center, 4th Floor, Eisner & Lubin, Room 401
Fresh from recording his third album, WARchild, Sudanese hip-hop artist Emmanuel Jal will share his first-hand experience of being a child soldier for a rebel army in Sudan and how he imparts messages of social justice in music. He will discuss his heroic navigation of the injustices in Darfur and how he has learned to rap for freedom
Breaking Into Film Scoring 3:30PM – 4:45 PM – NYU, Kimmel Center, 4th Floor, Room 406 Composing music for film can be one of the most exhilarating (and potentially lucrative) creative experiences. It’s also a world that seems impossible to get into. What and who does an artist need to know in order to make it in the field of film composition? How do you get your work noticed? This panel will feature film directors, studio music executives, music supervisors, and artists who have successfully made the transition to film composition.
