Why were Alec Baldwin, filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen and composer Carter Burwell on stage talking to neuroscientist Aniruddh Patel? The answer is in MetroFocus' Listening In segment where you'll get a look at the World Science Festival's recent event, co-sponsored with the New York Philharmonic called, "The Art of the Score: The Mind, Music and Moving Images."
“The Art of the Score: The Mind, Music, and Moving Images,” a co-presentation of World Science Festival and the New York Philharmonic. Alec Baldwin, film directors Joel and Ethan Coen, film composer Carter Burwell and neuroscientist Aniruddh Patel explore the uniquely powerful role of music in shaping the narrative flow and the emotional impact of film. From Stanley Kubrick’s classic 2001: A Space Odyssey to the Coen Brothers’ “Miller’s Crossing” and “True Grit”, this program examines the creative process of scoring feature films and the neuro-scientific insights that reveal how such compositions profoundly shape the audience experience.
