After studying film scoring at Berklee, Fernando went on to conduct major film music concerts across Spain and Europe, working regularly with live orchestras and bringing symphonic music to new audiences.In this conversation, Fernando and I talk about why modern film music often feels less melodic, less thematic, and less soulful than it used to. He gives the spicy answer: Hans Zimmer happened. But he also explains why Zimmer is a genius, why the real problem is the wave of imitation that followed, and why melody, themes, and orchestral storytelling may be ready for a comeback.We also get into the humanity of live music, why Beethoven was basically heavy metal, what conductors actually do, how orchestras teach humility, why failure is essential to a creative career, and how becoming a father changes your priorities.-Give Fernando Furones some love on his platforms:• Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fernandofurones/• Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/61LY4ib0pUbxPhnFpXR4TY-Subscribe for free on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1p4w6eH... or Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...-Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/vinicius.barbosa.pippa/Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are solely my own and do not represent the views, policies, or positions of Berklee College of Music or any of its affiliates.</p>
