You’ve probably heard the music of Adam Gock – he’s one of Australia’s most performed screen composers, having written the music for Masterchef, Gogglebox and Shark Tank (just to name a few).

Come along to find out how he creates music for TV and to hear his advice on how to get work as a composer in the Australian screen industry today.

Adam will cover the following points:

  • How to respond to a brief for composing a piece for TV – how to follow through and deliver
  • His creative process
  • The differences in composing for commercials, drama and factual content
  • How to manage multiple jobs
  • Adam’s personal journey to composing and setting up The D.A’s Office
  • Plus advice for composers and musicians wanting to compose for screen.

….and more.

This event is designed to inform local composers, musicians, screen producers and screen content creators on how to develop a successful screen composing career.

Recent productions include Masterchef (Worldwide), Kakadu (Awarded documentary), Life On The Reef (documentary), Once Upon A Time In Cabramatta (documentary), Once Upon A Time In Punchbowl (documentary), Ten News theme, The Apprentice Australia, Sea Patrol (Drama), Compass (Theme), as well as commercials for Qantas, Virgin, Instyle Magazine, Hyundai, Optus & many more.

In addition to The D.A’s Office, Adam cofounded Lamp Music in 2016, specialist in Music & Sound Design for Advertising. Recent work from Lamp includes Lamb, Audi & Chang Beer.
