We’re introducing something new inside PTN. A space where the brief gets set, and you bring the work. This is where your ability to read direction, respond to it, and deliver with intent gets tested and sharpened. We listen live, analyze in real time, and react through one lens: Does it serve the brief, while still making it yours? We set the brief, you bring the work. We’ll be bringing in hosts and guests who live in this space to listen, give feedback, and guide. Every brief is different. Different needs, different directions, different challenges. We’ll keep it moving so you’re not stuck in one lane. You can submit your work and step into it. You never know where this leads! Share it. Bring your people. Let’s build the room. Stay VERY Tuned...The first Brief Room session is coming.

Happy Friday everyone! I know most of us juggle a day job, composing/producing, family, all the other life things. How do you manage it all and stay on top of everything?

Great deep dive into the world of sync music in today’s NY Times. Here’s a gift link: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/magazine/sync-music-songwriters-video.html?unlocked_article_code=1.SVA.C9bu.dZwBxiswciwi&smid=nytcore-ios-share

I’m a big list-maker—it helps me stay focused when I can write things down, organize them, and check them off. I also tend to overdo it and create huge lists of everything I want to accomplish in a month and feel overwhelmed sometimes. I once heard: we often overestimate what we can do in a month and underestimate what we can do in a year. So this March, I’m narrowing my focus to one pivotal goal that will directly support my growth as a composer. My one thing:Learning and mixing in Dolby Atmos. By the end of the month, I want to have studied it and successfully mixed my first piece. What’s your one thing this month?

I’m fortunate to spend my time, amongst other things, teaching workshops, running one-on-one coaching, and working directly with creators who want to grow in visual media. PTN EA - is my way of bringing that same experience to a wider circle - my communities - in a way that’s structured, ongoing, and built to last. Every course here is designed to pull back the curtain on how music really works in picture - from concept to delivery - and give you tools you can apply to your own work immediately. ---- JUST in case you are new here, you can find a bit more about ME HERE <--------- -- We will start to run two tiers side-by-side: Pulse Tier (Free) Your open-access starting point. Core lessons, examples, and exercises you can use right away. A clear view of the process, the concepts, and the mindset that drive successful work in visual media. Broadcast Tier (Premium) Coming soon For serious creators ready to level up. Broadcast takes the same topics you see in Pulse and goes in-depth: full creative workflows, real briefs, case studies, feedback loops, and live working sessions. A mix of academia and industry experience, aimed at preparing you to work at a professional level. When Broadcast launches, every new course will drop in both tiers at the same time -- Pulse for the essentials, -- Broadcast for the complete system. --- Visual Media 101 — Pulse vs Broadcast (What’s the difference, why it exists, and how to try both) --- Both modules are live now: - PULSE - BROADCAST (Preview) While we’re building Broadcast, you can preview it here through selected modules and lessons. Think of it as a window into the deeper training, collaborations, and project opportunities that will roll out in the premium tier.
