Hot off the hit animated show "Seis Manos", composer Carl Thiel spends time with Brian talking about the process of creating a ground-breaking international score for Netflix's newest ambitious animated adventure. Carl recalls the process of getting the gig, recording an orchestra in Budapest, and combining 70's grindhouse, blaxploitation elements, drug cartel sub-themes, and ancient Mexican lore into a colorful caldron of musical flavors, and discusses his perspective on scoring for "binge watching" audiences versus serialized television or standalone films.
Brian also answers a listener question about composer unionization and explains the history of why there is no collective bargaining representation for composers in Hollywood. -
Veteran Hollywood scoring mixer Damon Tedesco joins Brian to discuss the things they both found interesting at this year's NAMM Show, but not before running down such hot-button issues as Netflix gunning for theatrical positioning, "Captain Marvel" composer Pinar Toprak successfully conquering the box office, and how the Oscar telecast fared without a host.
Also, the 13th Annual SCOREcast Winter NAMM Meetup was a raging success, with more than 150 SCOREcasters in attendance and over $5,000 of software prizes given away. We'd like to thank our faithful friends at Soundiron and to Eduardo Tarilonte for always being there for SCOREcasters and supporting them with amazing products.

Please LISTEN to and SHARE this message if you support this cause as a composer. It's important that we take care of each other as a global community.
