Tim to arrange and conduct concert for Tech N9ne

Having written shows for the likes of Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Common, Ne-Yo and Maxwell, it is time for Tech N9ne to get the Symphonic Tim Treatment. I will be conducting the Kansas City Symphony on May 4th 2024 at the Midland Theatre. Tech is a KC native so it will be a honor to bring two Kansas City institutions together.

Movies Out Now!

A bunch of projects that I worked on last year have been coming out in recent months. Make sure to follow me on Instagram for updates about all the projects I'm on! Shazam! Fury of the Gods was released on March 17. I conducted and was lead orchestrator for Chris Beck's epic score. It was a lot of music in a short amount of time but I am lucky to have some friends who also orchestrate to help out. Thanks to the crew at Chris's…

Summer 2022 Arranging

Besides the usual film and television work, I've also had a number of arranging projects come my way this year. A number of them have been for my friend Jules Buckley. The first was a concert in June with the BBC Symphony Orchestra titled "Beyond the Bricks of Brum," celebrating the city of Birmingham. I arranged a few tunes for SANITY and also composed a piece to play with a poem by Casey Bailey. The BBC Symphony Orchestra: Beyond the Bricks of Brum Then a…

New Projects

Summer 2022 has been busy! This weekend (September 8!) Cars on the Road will debut on Disney+. This was one of the first projects to kick off the latest batch of new work. Jake Monaco scored this new series from Pixar, and I orchestrated and conducted. Prey also recently released on Hulu. I played a small role in helping with Sarah Schachner's score for this one shortly before we got into work on Cars. We got to make a lot of cool sounds, including some…

The Debreved Studio Conducting Insensitive Workout

I think a lot of the workshops and courses out there are missing PART 2 where you have to do all of the things I mention in my articles. So let’s just pretend I am going to run my own workshop. This could work standalone, or actually be really cool as an addition to one of the existing ones. 9:00 Meet and greet over oat milk lattes and vegemite on toast.9:30 Review my blog articles about studio conducting.12:30 Lunch (avocado toast followed by more lattes).1:30…

Ant-man and the Wasp

Ant-man and the Wasp is out! Another unique action score from Christophe Beck for which I served as lead orchestrator and conductor. We recorded the score over a 6 week period at Abbey Road Studio One. While it has become the norm to throw everything at action scores, multiple passes with the orchestra, huge percussion and relentless riffs, Chris' score builds on the unique palette he set up for the first Ant-man movie, with even more pizzicato! While we did record some of the brass and…

Is it ‘Ahh’ or ‘Aah’? Choir Session Tips

There are a number of differences in how I approach conducting a choir as opposed to how I approach conducting an orchestra in the studio. You usually only get a single session to record the choir for a whole score, so here are some tips to get everything you need. You need to emoteWhile I have said I do minimal gestures and stay out of the way with the orchestra, leading a choir is very different. I have found you get the best results when you…

Conducting Part 4

Technique99% of what we do is on click track. We are also sight reading. The most important thing is to have a clear downbeat. That is what the players look for when their heads are buried in their stands. I try to do a very clear pattern, a tiny bit ahead of the click (and I mean tiny, not like the concert hall). Never conduct 'along' with the click. It is possible to make them play behind or a little in front by adjusting where…

Conducting Part 3

That was great, now lets make it betterThere is nothing like working with the greatest sight readers on the planet. But even if they get every note right on the first run, the magic is not going to be there yet. My theory is that it takes at least three runs before the real magic happens, when the orchestra gets the correct tuning, timing and balance. For my example let's assume this is an easy-to-medium difficulty cue. Harder cues would take more time, but this…
