Indigenous composers and musicians account for less than one 1 per cent of screen composers nationally.
As such, over the past year the Australian Guild of Screen Composers (Agsc) and the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Music Office (Natismo) have been working together to try to create pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders composers to enter the industry.
That has lead to the 2021 Natsimo Screen Composer Intensive, a paid, four-week initiative, supported by Apra Amcos and Create Nsw.
The selected participant will work across Sonar Music, Church Street Studios and Jigsaw Music, and with the Australian Film Television and Radio School (Aftrs), to expand on their songwriting and composing skills and experience.
They’ll be exposed to the key practices of screen composing and be immersed in production settings, including spotting sessions, approval sessions, preparations for recording/mixing, chart preparation, orchestration, music rough approval sessions, attending recording sessions, music mixes and film mixes.
