Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross To Deliver Keynote Q&A At 2014 Billboard + The Hollywood Reporter's Film & TV Music Conference

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter announce today that award-winning composing team Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will deliver the Keynote Q&A at the 2014 Billboard + Hollywood Reporter Film & TV Music Conference, taking place on November 5 and 6 in Los Angeles.  Reznor and Ross will discuss their most recent collaboration on the score of the critically acclaimed film Gone Girl.

Now in its twelfth year, the Billboard + Hollywood Reporter Film & TV Music Conference is a cutting-edge, two-day seminar on the role of music in film and television.  The highly anticipated conference offers attendees the unique opportunity to learn from, network, and expose their music directly to the best music supervisors, composers, directors, music editors, songwriters, and producers in the business. The event also provides a dynamic forum for the exchange of ideas, featuring roundtable discussions, and other networking opportunities.

"Each year, we look forward to welcoming the industry's most talented creatives who add such an important element -- music -- to Hollywood's greatest works," said Janice Min, co-president and chief creative officer of Guggenheim Media's Entertainment Group, which consists of Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter.  "We're honored to have Trent and Atticus, two of the most influential musicians working today in any genre, come and discuss their influential work, in such an intimate setting." 

For the Keynote Q&A panel, Hollywood Reporter and Billboard music editor Shirley Halperin and Reznor and Ross will discuss the duo's most recent work on the score for Gone Girl. Gone Girl is the third partnership between Reznor and Ross, and director David Fincher, following Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and The Social Network, for which Reznor and Ross won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe.

While perhaps best known as the founder and sole member of the groundbreaking industrial music project Nine Inch Nails, Reznor is a multi-talented creative force whose drive and passion has extended to film, video games, and digital music services. Ross began writing music for picture in 2004, for the television series "Touching Evil."  He has since composed scores for other acclaimed television series and films, including as New York I Love You, The Book of Eli, Days of Grace and Broken City, among other projects.
