Meet the BTL Experts: 4 music panelists discuss their work process and the perils of temp music [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW]

Music is one of the final elements added to a film or television show, and for the four panelists on Gold Derby’s Meet the BTL Experts: Music panel, they all had various starting points when it came time to craft the sound of their projects.

[…] On the other hand, Brendan “Eskmo” Angelides (“13 Reasons Why”) and Mac Quayle (“The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” “American Horror Story: Cult,” “9-1-1”) are visual composers and prefer to wait for scenes or an episode cut before creating a score. “I could be saying something different in seven years, but I feel like I need the visuals in front of me to be able to do it,” Angelides said.Plus, as Quayle pointed out, sometimes the ultimate screen product could be vastly different from what was written on the page. “I’ve yet to write anything from reading a script. I’d start getting some ideas. The script obviously has some information there,” he said. “[But] there could be not much on the page and what’s on the screen is like this whole world, so I tend to wait.”And when those scenes come in, oftentimes they’re backed by temp music — placeholder music inserted in the editing process to serve as a guideline for composers to write something similar or simply to know where music is wanted. Quayle calls it “a blessing and a curse.”“The blessing is that if it’s a good picture editor and they’ve put the temp in and they’ve cut to it, there’s a lot of good information to get from it,” he said. “There could be a tempo, where a big modulation should happen, where it should hit here or hit there. There could be some really nice information there. And if I know that I have the freedom to just use some of that information and then write my music with that information in it, that’s great. The curse is when they think the temp is the best idea that could ever be in that scene.”

Ricky Martin On Life After Gianni Versace’s Death: “We Still Deal With Homophobia”

I think it’s not how he died, it’s why we allowed it to happen,“ Martin tells THR on Versace’s death.

“At this point in my life, I need to tell stories that make a difference,” Ricky Martin told The Hollywood Reporter In Studio on portraying Antonio D’Amico, the partner of the late Gianni Versace’s in FX’s American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.

The star made his return to acting with the Ryan Murphy drama and developed a connection with the real D’Amico. “He was very generous and he would tell me everything that he was feeling.”

“I was working with Ryan [Murphy], incredible directors, great writers and, of course, an incredible group of actors that were there with me at all times, so all I wanted was to talk on behalf of those that aren’t being heard,” he said. “Unfortunately, nowadays, we still deal with homophobia and I think it’s not how he died, it’s why we allowed it to happen.”

Through his career, Martin hid his sexuality from the public in fear that it would destroy his career, but he shared the special lesson he learned from Versace himself.

“He was being brave enough to come out of the closet and to introduce his partner in public. I tell you this and my heart sped up because I went through the same thing as a closeted gay man,” he explained. “Do you know how many lovers I had that I hid from the public that I did not allow anyone to see because I was afraid?”

He continued, “Gianni Versace went through the same thing as well and for me, that was a lesson. You have to be strong, you have to be brave, you have to be yourself and you have to be proud of who you are and not be afraid.”

Watch the interview above to also hear Martin rave about working with Penelope Cruz and his fear of living in Miami Beach at the time of Versace’s death. | 15 June 2018
