The composer attended Screen Composer Academy in Athens Greece with other composers, industry professionals and newcomers to exchange ideas and culture along the Athenian Riveria.
Screen Composer Academy is a residency based programme that provide learners with the practical, creative, conceptual ideas and fundamental techniques of successfully composing a score for the screen.
It explores the workflows of the media composer, communicating narrative through music, working under budgetary constraints, contracts and music business, and producing professional portfolio works.
This programme aims to be the perfect starting point for musicians and composers who want to explore composing for film, game, TV and other visual media.
‘A wonderful experience was had meeting like-minded composers ranging from industry professionals to newcomers and exchanging ideas and culture along the Athenian Riveria. The benefits of this mobility was the funding of the program which paid for lectures and the recording sessions which I still cherish to this day. Also the knowledge and skills gained greatly enhanced my composing skills as I enter my final year of Music at Trinity College Dublin.’ Garrett NortonAcross Borders - Across the Board (2023 - 2024)
