JUNE to DECEMBER 2011
The first 3 episodes of Antigone 34 have been mixed mid June. Each episode is around 50mn long and music score is about 20mn for each.
It was a pleasure to work with Denis Leleu who mixed that TV film.
3 more episodes have been written by Brice Homs and Alexis Nolent, which should be shot next fall, and scored before the end of 2011.
I have to do a lot of archiving and "cleaning" in my folders , a good archiving is the key when composing for TV series when you have recurrent themes to develop and rearrange.
In July i ll have to start working on new themes as well, corresponding to new characters and situations featured in those next 3 episodes.
