Special Guest Speaker: Nathaniel Blume
We’re excited to welcome Nathaniel Blume as this month’s featured guest speaker! As one of the most dynamic composers working on screen today, Nathaniel’s talent for crafting memorable musical interplays can be heard on more than 500 episodes of television. Blume was the composer for Prodigal Son (FOX) working alongside Chris Fedak and Sam Sklaver to craft a unique score by sampling surgical tools and medical instruments. He is also the co-composer for The Flash (CW), Arrow (CW), and Deception (ABC) and has also contributed additional music for Venom: The Last Dance (Sony), Supergirl (CBS), and Resurrection (ABC).
Grab a coffee or sweet treat from Pour Johnny’s, meet new collaborators, and invest in yourself and your craft to kick off the new year on the right note! We can’t wait to see you there.
