Everything about Orchestration with Robin Hoffmann
Tuesday Mar 11, 2025
Tuesday Mar 11, 2025
A few episodes ago, I asked the question What is Orchestration? This was because I saw a lot of different orchestrators, nota bene, non-musical orchestrators with job titles like Design Orchestrator, Value Network Orchestrator, Data Orchestrator and Innovation Orchestrator, just to name a few. This is an ongoing research, and I am writing a paper about what people do when they say they are orchestrating.
But today, we flip the side and talk with a music orchestrator, or, shall I say, an original orchestrator?
We speak with Robin Hoffmann, a prize-winning composer, arranger and orchestrator from Berlin. We talk about orchestration in music and the difference between composing, orchestrating, arranging and conducting in Hollywood films, games and concerts.
This is a deep dive into the music industry and all its facets and an inspiration for everyone orchestrating something.
Robin shares with us many insights and a great story.
