'The Art of Sound and Music in Filmmaking'

Los Angeles-based composer and sound designer Marc Aramian offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how music and sound effects create the emotional underlayment for compelling cinema.

 

Aramian is featured in the presentation “The Art of Sound and Music in Filmmaking” Thursday, Oct. 7, 7 p.m., at USU’s Performance Hall. The presentation is free and all are invited.

 

Using state-of-the-art software and techniques, Aramian demonstrates the methodology, rationales and tricks-of-the-trade used in Hollywood film making. Using scenes from films, he will deconstruct and rebuild sonic landscapes to show how sound and music impact the movie going experience.

 

Aramian is a veteran composer and sound designer with international experience. He has composed hundreds of scores for film, TV, records and commercials. Among his music career highlights are two foreign feature films, both nominated for the Best Score in the Asian equivalent of the Academy Awards. His work has won Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award. He also composed music for the flag ceremony for the ’92 Olympics in Barcelona.

 

He recently completed a two-year stint as manager of Soundelux Design Music Group in Hollywood, where he was music supervisor on three Disney video games — High School Musical: Karaoke, Cheetah Girls: Dance and High School Musical 3: Dance.
