In the beginning of April, 4 Elements collectively invited our team of composers to attend a dinner at the West Bank Cafe in midtown Manhattan, and the evening was a great success by all accounts. Not only did the 4 Elements staff get to catch up with the composers in a more informal setting, but also, the composers got the chance to meet and interact with their fellow artists, a rare pleasure in this world of working composers who spend most days (and nights) in the studio. We five members of the 4 elements team all spread ourselves out amongst the composers, learning a bit more about the people behind the music we hear each day at the studio. By sharing great food and swapping hilarious war stories, the dinner deepened the sense of community and personal connection that is central to how we operate at 4 Elements.
It’s been a constant pleasure working with such a diverse, talented group of composers. They come from all over the world; some composers were born in Austria, Chile, or Iceland, while some were raised in New York. Some are in their mid twenties, while others are in their fifties. At the composer’s dinner, jazz players and jam band fans shared the table with Britpop connoisseurs and folk music enthusiasts. All share a love of music and a dedication to their craft. Thanks, everyone, for a wonderful night!
