Why Work with The Composer Collective?
Music is Half of the Equation
The power of cinema is undeniable. Directors and their crews struggle constantly to put their vision onto the screen, to create worlds and characters that will stand the test of time, to advance this breathtaking art in ways audiences could scarcely imagine.
Yes, the visual arts have near limitless potential. Films, television, even the relatively new medium of interactive games dare to expand the boundaries of storytelling as a matter of course.
But what awe-inspiring film has been without music?
What excellent television show has been without a stunning soundtrack?
What memorable video game has existed without an imaginative score?
Excellence in visual storytelling and the music that accompanies it goes hand in hand. Any film lover can list dozens of movies that have soundtracks as timeless as its stories. The rich tradition of memorable music in movies has covered every genre, from family adventure tales to terrifying suspense thrillers to pulse-pounding action fests.
The standard is as high as befits a demanding art form. Audiences expect stunning music, and it's the director's job to make sure they get it.
Unfortunately, this is not a simple task. Any director who has sought an excellent film composer knows this all too well.
There's no “composers guild,” no organization that holds composers to a high standard of quality… and precious few resources to determine whether the musicians vying for a position on your project can handle it.
Until now, that is.
Nobody ever said the film business was easy, but The Composer Collective is here to help you find the excellent composer you need.
Your First and Last Resource
The Composer Collective consists of hundreds of talented, forward-thinking composers, experienced in every conceivable genre of storytelling. Led by experienced film composers Evan Evans and Matt Gates, The Composers Collective was formed to solve the biggest problem that directors confront when trying to hire a composer: There is simply no good place to start.
“This problem is the result of many separate issues, but it ends up being pretty simple,” says Evans. “Composers don't know how to approach directors, and directors don't know how to find qualified composers.”
The Composer Collective aims to change that by providing a solid resource for directors, music supervisors, and anyone else needing original, high quality composition.
The Process
Once you begin collaborating with The Composer Collective, your project requirements will be given to all participating artists, notifying hundreds of skilled composers to your needs. You may be under a tight project deadline, have special musical requests, or require a speculative composition before you can make an informed decision, and The Composer Collective will only pass on responses that meet the high standard of film composition that you need.
Rather than sifting through endless websites in order to find skilled composers, working with The Composer Collective provides efficient access to a virtual library of talent, ensuring that you will find a musician that you can work with to create the best music possible for your project.
Indeed, you will discover that working with The Composer Collective saves you time in a number of ways. You won't have to slog through mediocre demonstration files or check the accuracy of a resume, and at the end of the day, you will be able to select the composer you want based on their skills.
Simply Put
The Composer Collective is the missing link between directors and composers. No matter whether your project is a film, television show, or interactive game, we will connect you to the people who can do the job, at no additional cost to yourself.
