An artist talk with composer, sound designer & producer Sam Slater

-Music for Film, Games, Installations and Stage


In this artist talk with Sam Slater we are curious to talk about experiences in making music for other productions, in film, games, installations or theatre. What does it mean to make music and sound in resonance with another piece of art or creative work? How do you approach composition and sound design differently in collaboration with different media and productions? Like for example – what are the differences in working for a film or for a game? And what works differently at the different levels of budget and scope? How to approach creative practice and creative strategy in long term projects?

How do you approach collaboration? How do you see collaboration as a creative practice? How much do you see your work as a service or your own artistic work? What are best practices of communication, so that all involved understand each other well?

How do you approach composing and sound design for different productions creatively? What are different work processes?

What would be your recommendations for artists who seek to work for film and games and other productions? Where to start and which skills are important?

There will be space for your questions as well, so come prepared.

07. -09.10. 2 pm to 6 pm // The new ABC in music - it's all about your artist brand

THE NEW ABC IN MUSIC: IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR ARTIST BRAND

A GUIDE TO CREATE YOUR KICK-ASS ARTIST BRAND STRATEGY ON A COASTER

WORKSHOP SUMMARY

To be successful as an artist a strong artist brand strategy is one of the most fundamental elements of your music career. Without a personalized long-term plan for your brand the chance for sustainable success - even if you’re making outstanding music - is close to 0. The world’s biggest artists show that making it to the top is no coincidence, but hard work that needs a concrete basis, an overall strategic perspective and intelligent actions for a strong artist brand and everything that comes with it.

Within the workshop The new ABC in music: it’s all about your artist brand participants learn what an artist brand strategy is, how to build one and how to bring this strategy to life. The program is divided into three parts:

in the first part a variety of brand, identity and strategy related terms will be distinguished followed by an introduction to artist brand strategies in general, the basic concept as well as the target group and the need to build a strategy. In closing of the introduction the Artist Brand Canvas (ABC) is introduced as a handy tool to help building artist brand strategies.

The second part focuses on the process of building the artist brand strategy. After clarifying the brand ownership and identifying stakeholders involved in the brand, participants are introduced to the framework of an internal and external situation analysis including a SWOT analysis. To lay the foundation for the actual strategy building process participants are introduced to the concept of The Golden Circle by Sinek as well as the Identity-based Brand Management model by Buhrmann as the underlying scientific models for the pro- cess. After defining the artist brand identity participants learn how to create the right messaging and artist brand story, how to constitute the respective brand image and how to identify the right brand touch points.
