For anyone interested in film

Dan and Gareth have put together a really engaging and hands-on podcast series as they pool resources to write a full soundtrack album. The interviews with various pre and post production creative departments provide such huge insights into how films and TV shows come together.

As a young composer, the tips and tricks I have picked up throughout the series have proved incredibly useful. If you’re interested in how media music is formed, this is definitely for you.

Can’t wait for series 2! Cheers guys!

Hi Gareth and Dan! A very insightful podcast into the exciting mystery of the TV production and composition world! I would be very interested to hear what your "go to" sample libraries are and why? Hope you are well and I hope to catch you both soon! Giles
