Briefing for the Young Talent Award MediaMusic Composition Competition 2018Soundtracks inspired by the (stories inspired by the) paintings of Edward Hopper

In the 2018 Young Talent Award Composition Competition composers are invited to write a new (media) music composition for the Kaiser String Quartet.

The book, titled IN SUNLIGHT OR IN SHADOW (ISBN 978-1-68177-559-3) contains 17 stories inspired by the Paintings of Edward Hopper.In this composition competition you‘re invited to compose a new soundtrack to one of the 18 paintings / 17 stories.One of the pictures (Cape Cod Morning), doesn‘t have a story (yet!).Maybe it will see an award winning composition, though ... ?

All entries should be in the form of an audio file. We highly recommend and appreciate attached sheet music, mockup files for your piece and a short written explanation of the context/progression of your piece.

The winning music piece will be performed by the Kaiser String Quartet from sheet music. We encourage you therefore to write for string quartet, but will also accept orchestral and hybrid orchestral entries. The winning piece will be arranged, and if need be, re-orchestrated for a performance by the Quartet, possibly with backing Track.

Participants should send all their material (audio, sheet music, and / or description) before May 1st 2018 to info@mediasoundhamburg.de

The international jury will be award winning composers Nicklas Schmidt (Denmark), Stephan Eicke (UK/Germany) and Than van Nispen tot Pannerden (The Netherlands). More information: http://kaiser-quartett.com

Kaiser Quartett

In this year’s composition competition the overall theme of the competition is “Storytelling”.In the early phase of a film, commercial, or video game, there is often a concept, an idea and/or plot illustrated by a more or less worked out storyboard. In this phase composers are often invited to already start the composition process, without knowing the actual time and timing of events and cues. In this YTA composition competition a story and/or painting can be chosen from the book. Composers are then invited to interpret the story with their own (original) musical idea, say “Soundtrack”.
