Curious Dreamers present
Composing for screen - Inside the Creative Process.
Ever wondered how music can completely transform the way we experience film?
Whether you’re a filmmaker, writer, sound designer, or simply fascinated by the relationship between sound and story, this talk takes you inside the creative mind of an award-winning composer.
Learn from an Award-Winning Composer
Led by BAFTA, RTS, and Cannes Golden Lion–winning composer Giles Lamb, this in-depth interactive workshop reveals how emotion, rhythm, and sound design come together to shape narrative.
With credits spanning beloved children’s series (Hushabye Lullabye, Tom Gates) to globally recognised trailers (Dead Island), Giles shares practical and creative insights drawn from nearly 30 years in the industry.
You’ll discover:
- How music transforms story and character on screen
- The psychology of sound — how the brain reacts before we think
- When music becomes sound design (and silence becomes power)
- How composers collaborate across film, animation, and immersive worlds
- What AI and new technology mean for the next generation of storytellers
Spaces are limited - only 8 places available to ensure one-one time and bespoke feedback. Early booking is strongly recommended.
Bonus for attendees:
All participants will receive a curated list of Giles’s go-to resources, including plugin recommendations, creative tools, and priority access to all future Curious Dreamers workshops and events.
