Laura Karpman, first time Oscar nominee for her “American Fiction” score takes the guest DJ seat. Plus, New Music Friday.
Five-time Emmy-winner and first-time Oscar-nominee Laura Karpman joins Novena to break down her storied career as a composer for film and television, her massively eventful 2023 (in addition to being Oscar-nominated for her score to American Fiction she also composed The Marvels’ soundscape), and to regale us with tales of her magical Beverly Hills childhood. Did you know there were once pony rides where the Beverly Center stands today??
Scrub to 01:00:43 for a fabulous array of works by female composers across many film and TV projects. This includes several selects from Karpman’s own deep bench, complete with a world premiere of the vocal version of “Monk Suite” from American Fiction (featuring the vocals of the score’s flutist Elena Pinderhughes).
Plus, elsewhere in the program we honor New Music Friday with a deep cut from Liam Bailey’s fresh LP Zero Grace, we hear the latest Norah Jones single ahead of her Leon Michels produced album Visions, and some classic Peter Gabriel for good measure.
