I want to learn how to compose orchestral music and piano music for film scores. What are the essential resources for such an undertaking. I am a pretty musical person, so I'm not just deciding to do this on a whim.

Orchestrated film scores suck dick these days. Most of it is milquetoast garbage made to distract the audience from the boring shit on screen that can't stand on it's own.
What composers inspire you? Learn music theory. buy a piano or nice keyboard and learn to play it well. Write a theme and expand on it from there.
Thomas Butler
>What composers inspire you?
Beethoven, Terry Riley, Phillip Glass, Steve Reich, Schumaan, Bach, Telleman, Handel, Chopin
Eli Diaz
Listen to music, dissect it. Look at scores, study them and understand how the materials affect the way the music sounds. Play through some of the music, get it in your fingers. Other than that, just compose frequently.
Joshua Hughes
Any books about this you could recommend?
And I have this limiting belief that I'm too old (I'm 25) to start on this journey... is that true?
Chase James
>Philip Glass
>Telemann
Jesus Christ. Just give up, kid.
Hudson Gonzalez
I am so sorry.
No you're not too old, but you need to listen to more music and get better taste first.
Eli Jenkins
never
Juan Jenkins
Open to recommendations

I was literally shit posting but I guess I'll throw you a bone.

Imagine looking up to a DEAF musician. Classicalfags are embarrassing.
Asher Green
he may have been deaf, but he could still hear
Aiden Taylor
Why the fuck does this board shit on philip glass so much?
Nicholas Green
I don't know anything about that but
>Finnegans Wake
Levi Myers
Because he fucking sucks. His music is poppy simplistic crap and he even has amateurish shit like haphazardly placed diminished chords in his music. There is no discernible talent.
Camden Flores
I suppose you would want/need to learn music theory. I'm on a similar journey and recently started reading The Complete Musician. Haven't got far so can't recommend with much confidence but what I've read so far is pretty good. It is pretty dense, doesn't hold your hands much and is 900 pages long but I believe if you finish it, doing all exercises, you'll have a very solid grasp at everything there is to know about music theory, and from there (or even while reading the book) you can go to specific topics of your interest
Kayden Wright
why does it matter if the music sounds good
Grayson Brown
Because if you have a refined ear it doesn't.
Landon Perez
It's minimalist music, it isn't supposed to be some crazy shit.
William Richardson
> Get a load of this guy, cam!
Jace Carter
No its not crazy shit, its just sane shit. So, arguably worse.
Jace White
just write music.
then go to la and beg for a job
Caleb Phillips
wow
faggots who don't get minimalism eating each others asses in public.
Lucas Peterson
What is there to get? Its pop for orchestra. Imminently irrelevant music.
Kevin Bell
On The Track is an incredible resource for this, even including many score fragments for popular films. Other than that, just procure scores from composers you admire.
Noah Rogers
uh

i'm a leaf and would prefer to stay in leafland for family reasons, is there a classical scene that you know of up north?
