Historia

American Music Award winning composer and multi-instrumentalist, Andrew Orkin, draws influence from a wide array of genres, combining modular synthesis with acoustic instrumentation and experimental production techniques to create unique sonic pallets for each project he scores. His festival laurels include Sundance, Tribeca, Champs-Élysées, SXSW, Berlinale, TIFF and AFI as well as series and films on Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Mubi, Discovery+, PBS and the CBC. Andrew is also a Fulbright Scholar and Arts Research Africa fellow.

(directed by Alex Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, starring Sunita Mani, John Reynolds and Ben Sinclair). Andrew also scored "Dead Pigs" (directed by Cathy Yan, starring Vivian Wu, Zazie Beetz and David Rhysdal), which went on to win a Sundance Jury award. He also produced remixes for Yan's "Birds of Prey" (starring Margot Robbie, Ewan McGregor and Rosie Perez), which featured on the American Music Award winning soundtrack for the film. He also composed for "Lucky Grandma" (directed by Sasie Sealy, starring Tsai Chin) as well as PBS documentary, "Down a Dark Stairwell" (directed by Ursula Liang). Andrew's most recent works are Hannah Peterson's debut feature "The Graduates" (starring John Cho) as well Matt Fifer's sophomore release, "Treatment", (starring Cole Doman) - which are both set for release in 2022. Episodically, Andrew's eight-part Netflix debut, "The Fame Game" (directed by Sri Rao), charted at number one in ten countries for multiple weeks. For Hulu, Andrew penned the music for David Chang's new six-part documentary series, "The Next Thing You Eat". He also scored Will Seefried's web-series "Sink, Sank, Sunk" (starring Laura Linney and Will Seefried) which was later distributed by Revry. Across other mediums Andrew's work includes Off-Broadway play "Mies Julie" (directed by Sharifa Ali) as well as work for multiple virtual reality installations which have featured at Cannes and Sundance. He also scored Oscar Sharp's "Sunspring" (starring Thomas Middleditch) and "It's No Game" (starring David Hasselhoff) which were the first films written entirely by an Artificial Intelligence. His recent solo album, "Cirrus", raised funds for hundreds of food parcels for those going hungry during the pandemic in his home country, South Africa.

Sunspring
Sunspring
Original Music Composer
Sunspring es un cortometraje sobre tres personas que viven en un futuro extraño, posiblemente en una estación espacial, probablemente en un triángulo de amor. Sabes que es el futuro porque H (jugado con gravedad neurótica por Thomas Middleditch de Silicon Valley) lleva una chaqueta dorada brillante, H2 (Elisabeth Gray) está jugando con computadoras, y C (Humphrey Ker) anuncia que tiene que "ir al cráneo "antes de meter la cara en un montón de luces verdes. Suena como tu típica película de ciencia ficción B, completa con una trama incoherente. Excepto que Sunspring no es el producto de hacks de Hollywood: fue escrito completamente por una IA. Para ser específico, fue escrito por una red neuronal recurrente llamada memoria larga a corto plazo, o LSTM para abreviar. Al menos, así es como lo llamaríamos. La IA se nombró a sí misma Benjamin.
