| 2013-05-23 | In LA – NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Session: mOcean’s Sanaz Lavaedian
Intimate Meetings & Pitch Sessions with Top Music Supervisors  Session with mOcean’s Sanaz Lavaedian on Thursday, May 23, 2013 at SESAC, Inc. in Los Angeles DETAILS Top-rated Trailer Music Supervisor Sanaz Lavaedian is our special guest at this NARIP Music Supervisor Session in LA. Lavaedian commissions, licenses and places music for global feature film trailer campaigns for the world’s biggest blockbusters as well as for independent films, global advertising campaigns and television. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees face-time with him, registrants get brief of her CURRENT music needs prior to the session to help them better prepare, a chance to pitch plus immediate feedback from her to YOUR material. In NARIP’s intimate session, you get to meet and pitch her for current opportunities. Trailers – which represents a large part of Lavaedian’s client work – have skyrocketed in recent years as an important and lucrative vehicle for music licensing. Synch fees for music in trailers tend to be larger because the rights requested tend to be more broad (worldwide, in perpetuity, used in every possible media). Also, trailers are typically part of a film’s marketing budget rather than its music budget, with film marketing budgets almost always many times larger than music budgets. One senior music executive at Fox Studios says that the music budget for a film is rarely larger than 3% of its overall budget, if that. ABOUT SANAZ LAVAEDIAN Sanaz Lavaedian is a Music Supervisor at mOcean, an entertainment advertising, marketing, branding, and production company. Recent projects she has worked on include Hangover 3, Thor 2, Iron Man 3, Safe Haven, Battle Of The Year, Evil Dead, Man Of Steel and Prisoners. An LA native, Sanaz has always been captivated with the symbiotic relationship between music and visual media. After graduating from UCLA, she set her sights on music supervision for Film / TV & Trailers. Sanaz started out as a music coordinator for Robin Kaye’s SynchroniCity in 2009. In 2010, Sanaz joined Reel Music. Under the guiding mentorship of Robin Urdang, she worked on projects such as ABC’s Brothers & Sisters, Fox’s The Good Guys, USA’s Burn Notice, Rabbit Hole, Pirahna 3D, Life Happens, The Oranges and 2011’s critically acclaimed Beginners. In 2010, Sanaz joined forces with Music Supervisor / DJ Extraordinaire Patrick Belton to create Off The Record Music Supervision with whom she music supervises indie films in addition to her work on trailers at mOcean. Patrick and Sanaz have completed two films including “Some Guy Who Kills People” (John Landis / Kevin Corrigan) and “The Giant Mechanical Man” (Jenna Fischer / Topher Grace / Chris Messina). mOcean is passionate in its pursuit of the Big Idea. It began as a trailer company but consistently adds new divisions, skill sets, toys, technologies, and new ways of thinking. Sanaz works with mOcean’s theatrical crew on trailers and supports projects in consumer brands, broadcast and home entertainment.. Come meet this career-maker. SMALL IS THE NEW BIG NARIP’s small sessions (limited enrollment of 16 people per session) guarantee face-time with our guest, registrants get brief of supervisor’s CURRENT music needs, a chance to pitch plus immediate feedback.

TWEET ABOUT OUR EVENT ABOUT STEVE LILLYWHITE Steve Lillywhite, CBE, is an English five-time Grammy Award winning record producer. Since he began his career in 1977, Lillywhite has been credited on over 500 records and has collaborated with a variety of musicians including U2, The Killers, The Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews Band, Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, Morrissey, The Pogues, David Byrne, XTC, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Simple Minds, The Psychedelic Furs, Beady Eye, Phish, The Counting Crows and Thirty Seconds To Mars. He has won numerous awards including the Producer of The Year Grammy in 2006 & Commander of the Order of The British Empire (CBE) in 2012 for his contributions to music. THE LILLYWHITE DOSSIER If you’re any kind of rock fan, the odds that producer Steve Lillywhite isn’t well represented in your record collection lie somewhere between slim and none. In a career that spans more than three decades, the Englishman has not only consistently made the most adventurous choices in terms of the bands he’s chosen to work with, he’s made the right ones. Lillywhite was at the helm for landmark albums with U2, Simple Minds, Big Country, Talking Heads, The Pogues, Dave Matthews Band, Peter Gabriel, XTC, the La’s and Morrissey. And that’s but the tip of the iceberg. Thanks to being “in the right place at the right time,” he says, Lillywhite entered the music industry in 1972 at age 17, landing a gig as a tape operator at PolyGram Studios in London. Studio management encouraged the staff to bring in their own projects during the weekends, when the rooms were empty, and Lillywhite took the opportunity to cut demos with the fledgling band Ultravox. “This was right at the beginning of punk rock,” he recalls, “and Ultravox were a more punky version of Roxy Music. They got a deal with Island off those demos, and they said to the label, ‘We want Steve to work on our album because he produced the demos and they sound great.’ Island said, ‘We don’t know who this guy is,’ and that’s when I first met Brian Eno. We produced the album together with the band and although there were no hits, it was considered a good record and I was on the scene at that point. It was ’76 in London, and I was a skinny white kid going to see the Sex Pistols.” Lillywhite left his studio gig to take advantage of his credibility within the punk scene, and one thing led to another. He met Johnny Thunders through his roommate and produced the former Doll’s solo album, So Alone. During the sessions, Siouxsie & the Banshees’ manager dropped by, liked what he heard and asked Lillywhite to produce the band’s first single. The resulting “Hong Kong Garden” became the producer’s first U.K. hit in September 1978. He then pogo’d into the punk/new wave movement head first, banging out LPs for the Psychedelic Furs, the Members (his brother’s band), the Lurkers, Tom Robinson, Penetration and—in his first brush with bona fide brilliance—XTC, with whom he concocted the now legendary Drums & Wires and Black Sea. “What I loved about punk was the attitude,” says Lillywhite. “I felt punk was limited as an art form, but I still adhere to the attitude aspect of it. The right attitude in music is all-important.” In 1980, the in-demand punk specialist got an unexpected call from the manager of Peter Gabriel. At first, Lillywhite was nonplussed. “Peter represented the era before punk,” he says, “and he’d been in Genesis, a prog-rock band, which was what we punks didn’t like. But when we started talking, I got interested. I’d been experimenting with a certain drum sound, and he wanted to record without using cymbals, which intrigued me.” The resulting Peter Gabriel, the artist’s third album, better known as Melt or III, “wasn’t a big seller, but it set a marker in terms of sonic quality. For a while after that, I became known as ‘the guy who does this drum sound.’ The Gabriel LP and Drums & Wires were just part of a remarkable year for Lillywhite, thanks to his fortuitous hook-up with a little-known band from Dublin that called itself U2. The resulting Boy initiated a creative relationship that has continued into the present decade, including involvement in The Joshua Tree (1987), Achtung Baby (1991), All That You Can’t Leave Behind (2000) and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2004). “I’ve played three different roles for U2,” Lillywhite explains. “Full production on the first three albums; additional production on Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby and Leave Behind; and overall producer on Atomic Bomb.” He won Grammys Record of the Year with “Beautiful Day” and “Walk On” from All That You Can’t Leave Behind, while taking home three more—Producer of the Year, Best Rock Album and Album of the Year for How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Along with producing U2’s subsequent October (1981) and War (1983), the band’s breakthrough, the producer was also responsible for Big Country’s 1983 debut The Crossing, Marshall Crenshaw’s Field Day and Simple Minds’ 1984 milestone Sparkle in the Rain. It was during the sessions for the latter that Lillywhite met his future wife, Kirsty MacColl, for whom he sired Kite (1989), Electric Landlady (1991) and sons Jamie and Louis. She also joined voices with Shane McGowan on the hit single “Fairytale of New York” from the Pogues’ Lillywhite-produced LP If I Should Fall From Grace With God (1994). The couple divorced in 1994, and MacColl was tragically killed in a boating accident off the coast of Mexico in 2000. Lillywhite later married his present wife, Patti. By the mid-’80s, Lillywhite was being approached by established bands, and although he preferred working with acts early in their careers, he couldn’t resist working with the Rolling Stones on Dirty Work (1986) or Talking Heads on the band’s final studio album, Naked (1988). The latter project led to his working with David Byrne on his first solo album, 1989’s Rei Momo. He closed the decade with one of his oddest studio experiences, producing the La’s self-titled power-pop classic, which was promptly disowned by enigmatic bandleader Lee Mavers, who then broke up the band. It takes all kinds in rock ’n’ roll. Lillywhite’s next memorable collaboration was with Morrissey, for whom he produced 1994’s Vauxhall and I, the first of three albums with the former Smiths frontman. “He’s incredibly gifted,” Morrissey said of Lillywhite 1997. “It’s been a great pleasure and enlightenment to work with him. It’s an atmosphere, it’s positivity and it’s a matter of drawing the best out of everybody. And that’s very hard to do. And Steve Lillywhite does it incredibly well, and makes you feel more adventurous and more sure of yourself than perhaps you normally would do.” After hearing Remember Two Things, the indie-label debut from the Dave Matthews Band, Lillywhite became obsessed. “I said to myself, ‘I have to do this band,” he recalls. “When I know I have to do something, I get crazy—it’s like a sort of spiritual awakening. I called the A&R guy in New York, who told me they’d almost decided to use another producer. I said, ‘No, they haven’t—they haven’t met me! I’m coming over.’” Needless to say, Lillywhite got the gig. That began a fruitful relationship that resulted in four album projects, including 1994’s Under the Table and Dreaming, 1996’s Crash and 1998’s Before These Crowded Streets. Ironically, it was the fourth project, which was never officially released, that brought the producer legendary status in Dave’s world. When the project was shelved in 1999, the tracks showed up online, at the peak of the Napster revolution, going on to become the most downloaded free music in history, and taking on the unofficial title The Lillywhite Sessions. “It was like a dagger through my heart,” the producer says of the aborted sessions, “but time is a great healer.” After MacColl’s death, Lillywhite moved back to England from New York to be close to his sons, taking the job of managing director at Mercury Records. During his two years at the label, the staunchly left-of-center veteran turned over a new leaf, signing and executive producing pop singer-songwriter Darius Danesh, whose debut album went platinum in the U.K., yielding three Top 10 hits, including Mercury’s first chart-topper in 15 years. More characteristically, he signed the highly regarded and big-selling rock band Razorlight. Along with collecting all those Grammys with U2 in 2006, Lillywhite has since produced such artists as Jason Mraz, Chris Cornell, Matchbox Twenty and Crowded House. He also found time to co-host a radio show on NPR called The Lillywhite Sessions. 2009 found Lillywhite producing projects for Blue October, Thirty Seconds To Mars and Phish. 2010 was spent working with Beady Eye on their debut Different Gear Still Speeding, and also reuniting with Bono and The Edge to produce The Cast recording for Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. Showing no sign of slowing down, Lillywhite began 2012 being recognized with a Commander of The Order of The British Empire (CBE) by the Queen of England and then reunited with Dave Matthews Band for the album Away From The World which debuted at #1 in the USA, and working with The Killers on Battle Born which debuted at # 1 in the UK and Ireland. 2013 looks to be another great year as the album Lillywhite produced with Thirty Seconds to Mars – Love, Lust, Faith + Dreams gets ready to be released. In terms of the particulars he brings to a recording project, Lillywhite says, “I obviously bring my experience, I bring my enthusiasm and I bring my ability to allow a musician to be as inspired as possible.

| 2013-05-01 | In LA – Trailer NARIP Music Supervisor Session -w- Trailer Park’s Toddrick Spalding
Intimate Meeting & Pitch Session with Director of Music for High Bias Industries Toddrick Spalding  on Wednesday, May 1, 2013 (7:00 p.m.) DETAILS Top-rated Trailer Park Music Supervisor Toddrick Spalding is our special guest at this NARIP Music Supervisor Session in LA: Spalding commissions, licenses and places music for global feature film trailer campaigns for the world’s biggest blockbusters as well as for independent films, global advertising campaigns and television. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees face-time, registrants get brief of supervisor’s CURRENT music needs, a chance to pitch plus immediate feedback. In NARIP’s intimate session, you get to meet and pitch him for current opportunities. Trailers – which represents a large part of Toddrick’s client work – have skyrocketed in recent years as an important and lucrative vehicle for music licensing. Synch fees for music in trailers tend to be larger because the rights requested tend to be more broad (worldwide, in perpetuity, used in every possible media). Also, trailers are typically part of a film’s marketing budget rather than its music budget, with film marketing budgets almost always many times larger than music budgets. One senior music executive at Fox Studios says that the music budget for a film is rarely larger than 3% of its overall budget, if that. ABOUT TODDRICK SPALDING Toddrick is a music supervisor at Trailer Park, one of the biggest film marketing agencies in the business. He got his start in the music industry as founder and drummer of Chicago indie rock band The Detachment Kit. Since those long ago days of constant touring and near-death experiences, he has built a career in music supervision for feature film marketing, indie features, traditional advertising and television. His company High Bias Industries, a collective of music supervisors, has worked on numerous high-profile projects (Django Unchained trailer, Givenchy worldwide campaign, NBA Finals, and FX’s Wilfred Season 2 and others). Prior to launching High Bias in 2011, Toddrick worked as a Music Supervisor at film marketing agencies including The Cimmaron Group and mOcean/CMP+, and also spent time as Director of Music for Film & TV at the Spectre Entertainment Group and as Director of Marketing for Knitting Factory Hollywood / Knitmedia. He is also currently the West Coast Creative Director at Spirit Music Group, home to artists as diverse as Pete Townshend, Marc Bolan, Lou Reed, The Naked and Famous and The Used. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
