DEX Songwriting Expo is back! Hungarian Collecting Society Artisjus organizes 4 entire afternoons, each focusing on a specific topic and speaker. On the 13th June:

Glen Gabriel (SE): Combination of orchestral scores and electronica in cinematic and commercial music

Electronica is very popular nowadays, especially in movies, series and commercials. The combination of electronica with big orchestral elements is very exciting combination, but at the same time, it’s very challenging for songwriters.

How does this work in practice, how can we approach the creative process, and what are the differences in the workflow, if you write music for a film, series or even commercials? Glen Gabriel from Sweden shows through some of his works.

With over 20 feature films under his belt, including James Cameron’s viral project “The Game Changers” (produced by Arnold Schwarzenegger & Jackie Chan etc), 100 commercial major brands & over 1000 TV episodes, Glen Gabriel is no stranger to cinematic music.

Glen’s ability to fusion many genres has taken him from producing award-winning albums featured in the Olympics to composing a ballet for the Opera House of Zurich. Glen has released 6 albums of his own music & recorded orchestras in studios all over the world, including iconic Abbey Road Studios in London, UK.
