Erica Procunier is a rising star in the screen composing scene. After deciding early on that composing for picture was her passion, she completed a Masters in Music Composition from the University of Western. While building her credits, she was accepted into prestigious programs like the Canadian Film Center’s Slaight Family Music Lab and the highly competitive Berlinale Talents which is held in Berlin each year. She now splits her time composing for independent films including And Now A Word From Our Sponsor (starring Bruce Greenwood), television shows such as Apple TV+’s Emmy winning Ghostwriter, CBC’s Detention Adventure, and teaching film scoring at Humber College. We chat about the intense sink-or-swim adventure that was her first apprenticeship, how she pushes her ideas to their full potential without worrying about getting turned down, and her thoughts on one of the big threats to screen composing and human culture in general: artificial intelligence. www.ericaprocunier.com
