Episode 70: Peter Rotter, founder of Encompass Music Partners and Encompass Creative
Description
Today’s guest is Peter Rotter, one of the most respected figures in the world of film and television music. As a music contractor, he has supervised the orchestral recordings for countless major studio projects and helped create opportunities for musicians in Los Angeles for decades. He's also the founder of Encompass Music Partners, which plays a crucial role in connecting musicians with projects across the industry.
I invited Peter on the podcast after reading his recent Hollywood Reporter op-ed, which lays out a powerful call to action about the urgent challenges facing screen music in L.A. With productions increasingly moving abroad and local recording sessions in steep decline, Peter raises the alarm on what this means for the future of L.A.’s music community—and what it will take to preserve the city's role as a global capital for film music.
We get into all of that—what's at stake, how we got here, and what might come next.
