Through examples from his own work, composer Simon Franglen deconstructs the creative-technical process that is at the heart of his award-winning scores for, among others, Avatar: The Way of Water, and The Magnificent Seven. In the recording and mixing studio’s of KASK, Gent’s most renowned conservatory, he explores the technical horizon of film scoring and shares advice that is immediately applicable to your own work. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and engage along the way.
Simon Franglen is a highly accomplished, award-winning musician and producer. For over two decades, he has collaborated intensely with American composer James Horner on the celebrated scores for Avatar, The Amazing Spider-Man, Titanic and many others. Succeeding his mentor, Franglen composed the score for Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), for which he won the Discovery of the Year Award at the 2023 World Soundtrack Awards.
Tickets for the WSA Workshops will be available later this month.
