On the Track

<p><em>On the Track</em> offers a comprehensive guide to scoring for film and television. Covering all styles and genres, the authors, both noted film composers, cover everything from the nuts-and-bolts of timing, cuing, and recording through balancing the composer's aesthetic vision with the needs of the film itself. Unlike other books that are aimed at the person "dreaming" of a career, this is truly a guide that can be used by everyone from students to technically sophisticated professionals. It contains over 100 interviews with noted composers, illustrating the many technical points made through the text.</p> <p>Foreword by John Williams <strong>I Preliminaries </strong><strong>II Conceptualizing</strong> <strong>III Timings </strong><strong>IV Composing</strong> <strong>V Recording</strong> <strong>VI Electronic and Contemporary Scoring </strong><strong>VII Songs </strong> <strong>VIII The Business</strong> </p>
