Sundance 2011 Diary: Tamara Conniff

Exclusive Blog: Seven Days in Music: Sundance Edition Time to take a look at what happened in the music biz – for the week ending Jan 28 it was all about Sundance, composers, new artist Allen Stone, and indie band Holy Water Buffalo. This week was all about Sundance for me. I turned a blind eye to the continued lay-offs in recorded music,…

Sundance 2011 Diary: iZLER

First of all, let's get something straight: Speech-wise, I sound pretty English. I was born in Prague and moved to London when I was nine years old, but there's not a whole lot of Czech accent going on here. Which makes it all the more bewildering that Americans constantly mistake me for an Australian. Really? You put me and Hugh Jackman in a room and the difference is pretty obvious…
Sundance 2011 Diary: Landing in Park City

The flight from LA to Salt Lake City was uneventful...which is how you want flights to be these days. I sat across from veteran actor and first time director Michael Rapaport, who made a documentary called “Beats, Rhymes, & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest,” which is in the doc competition. I showed him a copy of his write up in the printed Sundance film guide, which he…

Blog: iZLER’s Day One of Sundance 2010 Blog (it’s blog-tastic)

Sooooooooo where to begin…I’ll keep this brief, in the interests of insomnia, undelivered movie scores, schmoozing and (God help us all) an extremely sore arse from skiing (what the hell was I thinking? We all know how musicians and white powder don’t mix…). As seems to be the custom these days, I preceded my departure to Utah with three weeks of sleeplessness, trying to deliver the score to my latest…
12th Annual Conducting Workshop Continues Acclaimed BMI Tradition

Blog: BMI Conducting Workshop Week 1 by iZLER
I’m sitting in my living room at around 11 pm on Saturday night ... out of the corner of my eye, just past the empty Corona bottle and the half eaten plate of take-out food sits a thick envelope. I mean thick. Heavy. And roughly about the size of a football pitch … It’s full of written movie scores I somehow have to get to grips with before Thursday ……
