Working on a Marvel Movie and Composing Music for Film/TV with Kirsten Evans - Noisy Women The Podcast
noisy and outspokenShow Notes
Kirsten Evans is a British composer who has most recently completed working in the music departments for the Hulu Original 'I am Greta' and the new Marvel movie 'Morbius' during her first year as a freelance media music composer. She has co-composed and been the vocalist for Wales' national entry to the Venice Biennale in 2017, which then toured the UK after it's 5 month stay in Venice with over 30,000+ visitors. Kirsten is the founder of two start up companies, ‘Soundbake’ plans to help break down the masculine undercurrent of the virtual instrument market, whereas ‘Uglicat’ is a coaching business that helps new freelance musicians, who struggle to monetise their skills in an achievable, profitable and fulfilling way.
Kirsten reached out to me via email and it was so lovely to hear about an industry which I personally know so little about. The general consensus throughout this episode is, do not be worried if you send hundreds of emails and no one gets back, they may well reply over the course of time and if not, pester them! Kirsten is an incredible talent, working in a very male dominated industry, with 94% of box office scores being written by men in 2018. Please lap up all information you can from this episode and I hope you leave feeling as inspired as I did when recording.
