How to get into film music composing and audio, plus one of the best pianists you'll ever hear! TALK/PERFORMANCE

1PM Friday 6th May 2022 – Room B01, FMM Building

Professor Timothy Blinko – University of Hertfordshire / Ian Jones – Professor of Piano, Royal College of Music

Timothy Blinko’s music is performed, broadcast and published worldwide. Four years ago he decided to move into film composing and has since scored several films with five more in the pipeline. He will share every tip he has for how to break into this exciting area of work which applies equally to audio engineers, sound designers and songwriters. Tim signed with BMG last year so will also talk about opportunities in film/TV production music, illustrated with some of his work. https://www.tjblinko.com

Ian Jones is one of the UK’s leading pianists. He performs and broadcasts all over the world as a Steinway Artist, while his Chopin album received great critical acclaim with Gramophone praising his ability to “transform passages often treated as superficial rhetoric into something thoughtful and communing” and BBC Music describing his playing as having ‘a lyrical elegance and unselfconscious purity of expression.’ http://www.garyparkes.com/ianjones.html

Ian will give the world premiere of two new works written for him by Timothy Blinko which are highly cinematic and powerfully communicative.
