- We're excited to share a brand-new webinar featuring the legendary composer Carter Burwell. In a 45-minute conversation with Your Music, Your Future founder Joel Beckerman, Carter talks offers priceless wisdom and industry insights for composers who are just starting their careers.
Carter is among today's best-known and most accomplished composers, with a long career including a wide variety of genres, budgets, formats, and styles, from his many collaborations with the Coen brothers to his current work on Apple TV's "The Morning Show."
But as he shares early in the conversation with Joel, he had no formal training, neither in music nor in business. Tune in to hear about how he achieved his self-taught success and get his top tips for new composers.
"The Business of Composing with Carter Burwell" is the first in a new series of educational conversations, by composers for composers, from Your Music Your Future. It covers not just what composers should know about contract negotiations, but also how Carter approaches budgeting, what it's like to work with demanding directors, and much more. So get ready to take notes!
GOLD!!!! Thank you Carter & Joel, for the existence of this unique masterclass--so many topics not often discussed!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice one!
A great presentation. A candid survey of the nuts and bolts. So much information packed into 50 minutes. Thank you to Carter and Joel.
Thank you for doing this. This is extremely insightful and helpful for composers getting their start and composers in general!
Great convo. I really like Carter. He definitely started when the composing world was more favorable to composers. Most composers won’t be lucky enough to piggyback on the careers of genius film directors who can ultimately do whatever they want.
The reality nowadays is you’ll be in a situation where you’re hired through a middleman company who has the contract to score a series or film because a real production feels legally grounded working with a middleman. Then you’ll be forced to give up a portion of your writers share to them and very little upfront. With the cost of living on the rise in LA and fees going down and writers share being taken by middle men it’s logistically very difficult to make it as a working composer.
This is like a free Masterclass. Thank you both!
This was great! Thank you
Brilliant, informative and professionally generous…as always Joel! Thank you! I’m already sharing it. ❤
So awesome. Thanks for this. Great questions, great answers!
So timely for my classes at Berklee - exactly the things I teach but now I can say “you don’t have to take my word for it!” Thanks!
Thank you SOO MUCH for this video. This is exactly what I needed to hear at this point in my career. This interview has calmed many of my anxieties ❤
