Poznámka:

During the production phase of each semester I will consult with any interested filmmakers who attend the course on how they will approach recording sound and help with finding a competent sound recordist if necessary. I will again consult during post-production, and produce the final mix of those films as time and schedule permits.

George Cremaschi was born in New York, where he studied music and composition. He has worked professionally as a musician, composer and recording engineer since the 1980s throughout the US, South America and Europe. He has appeared on over fifty commercially available recordings as a musician, and written and produced countless compositions and scores for many settings from solo to orchestra, electronics, film, dance, poetry and theater.

He works regularly with a variety of international and local groups, frequently participating in interdisciplinary site-specific collaborations with choreographers, video artists and light designers, and also is the co-founder and leader, with Petr Vrba, of Prague Improvisation Orchestra (PIO), a 15-member group working with a wide range of improvisational concepts.

In addition to teaching film sound production at FAMU since 2011, he is professor of sound art and sound production at Prague College and has been guest lecturer at conservatories in Belgrade, Brno, Malmö, Oakland, Prague, Tallinn and Vienna.
