This year�s Composers Lab Fellows are Jeremy Flower, Derrick Hodge, Shahzad Ali Ismaily, Enis Rotthoff, Gingger Shankar, and Jeff Toyne. During this two-week intensive lab, Fellows participate in workshops and creative exercises under the guidance of the industry�s leading film composers and film music professionals. The Composers Lab Fellows also collaborate with filmmakers from the Sundance Institute Feature Film Program and the Sundance Institute Documentary Program to explore the process of writing music for film and to create accompanying scores for scenes shot during the Feature Film Program�s Directors Lab and those workshopped through the Documentary Program�s Edit and Storytelling Lab.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl# #ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#The Composers Lab is a major component of the Sundance Institute Film Music Program, dedicated to supporting emerging film composers and to enhancing the role of music in independent film. First offered from 1986-1989, the Composers Lab was re-introduced in the summer of 1998 to provide a collaborative and supportive environment in which composers experiment and expand their musical language.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl# #ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#"Music is a vital part of filmmaking, but young filmmakers don't have many opportunities to learn about film music until they're in the hot seat. This Lab provides a unique opportunity for emerging composers and filmmakers to work together in an atmosphere that encourages experimentation," said Peter Golub, Director, Sundance Institute Film Music Program. "This year's Fellows represent an extraordinary range of musical styles and genres. By choosing composers from widely different musical backgrounds, some of whom have not had a great deal of experience in film, we're hoping to enliven the field of film composition. We're very excited about the work we'll be doing in our 10th Composers Lab and the impact we will have on the Fellows from the Directors Lab and the Documentary Program.�#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl# #ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#Over the past 10 years, the Composers Lab has paired emerging and established composers with filmmakers participating in the Sundance Institute Feature Film and Documentary Film Programs. The Lab brings composers and filmmakers together to provide talented composers with first-hand experience composing for film, while simultaneously enhancing the musical understanding of independent filmmakers. Over the past 10 years, Fellows have included Tyler Bates (DAWN OF THE DEAD), Camara Kambon (DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN), Jonathan Bepler (CREMASTER) and Andreas Kapsalis (BLACK GOLD, winner of the 2006 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema Documentary).#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl# #ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#In addition to their work with filmmakers from the Feature Film and Documentary Film Programs, Composers Lab Fellows will work under the mentorship of noted Creative Advisors, a distinguished group of film composers, filmmakers, and film industry professionals.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl# #ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#This year, Creative Advisors include film composers Jeff Beal (POLLACK, MONK); George S.

The original values of independence, creative risk-taking, and discovery continue to define and guide the work of Sundance Institute, both with US artists and, increasingly, with artists from other regions of the world.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl# #ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#The programs of Sundance Institute include the annual Sundance Film Festival which is held in Park City each January and is considered the premier U.S. showcase for American and international independent film. The Institute supports nonfiction filmmakers through the Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program by providing year-round support through the Sundance Institute Documentary Fund and a series of programs that encourage the exploration of innovative nonfiction storytelling and promote the exhibition of documentary films to increasingly broader audiences. The Sundance Institute Feature Film Program is a year-round program dedicated to supporting artist development and the advancement of distinctive, singular independent projects. Each year 20-25 emerging filmmakers from the U.S. and abroad participate in the program which includes the Screenwriters and Filmmakers Labs, ongoing creative and practical advice, the post-production project, and financial support through fellowship opportunities. The Sundance Institute Theatre Program is committed to invigorating the national theatre movement with original and creative work and to nurturing the diversity of artistic expression among theatre artists. The Sundance Institute Film Music Program is dedicated to supporting the development of emerging film composers, as well as impacting the ways in which independent filmmakers approach music in their films. The Institute also maintains The Sundance Collection at UCLA, a unique archive of independent film.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl# #ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

Although both Indian and western music is born from the seven notes, in Indian music, however, there are multiple shrutis and corresponding variation in pitch, and also so many different Indian musical instruments, each with a temperament of its own. In Indian music there are scales of ascending and descending order with different permutations and combinations.
