Subscribe to Michael's blog to follow his adventure from this Friday!
Top film composer Michael Price (credits on Hot Fuzz, Children of Men and this summer's Wild Child) will join a group of six disabled and six non-disabled people in the first multi-ability team ever to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. This landmark climb is in aid of the charity Enham and is being filmed for an independent cinema release.
Michael will create a score for the film as he climbs the mountain with the group. He’ll be running world-class digital media products from Avid on a laptop, including Sibelius 5, Pro Tools and M-Audio hardware. What's more, he'll be posting his progress on a daily blog for you to follow!
Michael will also be inviting students to write and email him short pieces of music for the opening and closing of the team’s regular video podcasts – which they will produce and publish while on the mountain using Avid Media Composer.
