We are opening submissions for our upcoming PTN Live Listening Session, and we pushed it one week to give everyone time to get through the holidays, get back into their flow, and breathe a little before we meet. This session is focused on music for visual media, so please read this before you send anything in. (Submission Info Below) We are looking to listen to cues/tracks that feel purpose-driven, structured, and built with a visual/picture in mind. Think arcs, scenes, Ads, trailers, moments, and pacing. Music that could live under a story. Your cue does not need to be perfect; it just needs intention. If it feels “almost ready” or you want clarity on whether it truly lands for film, TV, trailers, or branded media, this room is for you. Before you submit, ask yourself: • Does this cue move, or can it work in visual media/support Visuals? • Does it have a good structure, or is this something I need help with? • Can you hear it under a scene? • Does it have a Sting? What is a Sting? • Is the mix in a place where someone could judge the idea, or is it even "ready"? If ANY of this FITS, or you can use this help... send it. SUBMIT Via Email HERE - 👉🏼 listenlive@paintthenoise.com-- CUTOFF at 7 pm on TUESDAY - (12/09 ) We will go through the submissions and feature as many cues as we can within the session window. Wednesday night, 12/10, we listen. Bring your best.

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.

The industry doesn’t hand out blueprints. We do. Most creators waste years trying to figure out how the industry works. Staying ahead is how I was able to get through the mess/noise others created.. or I "allowed" because I was not informed... So I had this mindset to get the right insights before everyone else. That’s what this is. Starting this week, we’re dropping something new inside the community: I’ll be dropping weekly reports inside this community that give you an inside look at what’s actually working in visual media music right now, straight from the --- 📺 The PTN Insider Report. --- Real case studies. Real projects. Real strategy. These aren’t hypotheticals. Each report gives you a direct look into how the music business actually functions for creators in visual media, covering deal structures, scoring workflows, licensing frameworks, publishing and rights management, creative career pathways, industry shifts, and simplified breakdowns of complex legal or business models that impact how creators earn, grow, and sustain momentum. - This is just the framework that these will touch on, to at least bring you, creators, the "awareness" lens. Each report follows a set rhythm -not just what’s happening, but how to interpret it. That’s why we built a full report skeleton to give structure. Here’s what to expect each week: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every Weekly- PTN INSIDER REPORT - follows this Exact process: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • 📍 CONTEXT / INDUSTRY SHIFT - What’s changing right now and why it matters to you • 📂 CASE FOCUS / BREAKDOWN– We focus on something in the industry and break it down • ✅ TAKEAWAYS / ACTION STEPS - What you should be doing now to grow and position yourself • 🔬 PTN Lens - How we at PTN interpret this shift (simple, visual, or editorial POV) • 🔍 FINAL REFLECTION / CREATOR LENS - What this means for creators like us/ the mindset
