A Spanish Composer in the Heart of Hollywood: Ana Ortiz Wienken
A Spanish Composer in the Heart
of Hollywood:
This Month's Featured Artist, Ana Ortiz Wienken: a film score composer who travelled among most of the world's cities learning from renowned film record labels and working with award winning composers and film editors. Her musical work is leaving a high standard mark in the industry as she continuously releases musical work of a high degree level for musical companies, film festivals and independent film directors.
Ana began playing the violin at an early age, however she has followed her passion with her preferred instrument, the piano. With her keys, she has travelled among most cities of the world performing concerts at venues, festivals as well as in city hall concerts at her town, Madrid. One of them being the recognized "Sociedad Matritense de Amigos del País". Ana Ortiz Wienken has been professionally trained in classical piano performance and composition at Spain's Russian Conservatory, under maestro Yuri Annaniev, alumn of legendary Dimitri Baskirov. She successfully obtained her degree in piano composition and performance, however she continued to adventure into the heart of music and went beyond the classical music format, to graduate four years later at Berklee College of Music, in Film Scoring.
She later moved in to Los Angeles, where she worked and learned from award winning composers such as Lucas Vidal, Heitor Pereira, Megan Cavallari (Danny Elfman's orchestrator) and Warner Bros Studios producer, Robert Fisher.
Ana has also worked for companies in relation to Team Disney, Chroma Music for TV and Advertising and the Latin Grammy Scholarship Foundation.
Ana Ortiz Wienken currently combines teaching at London's prestigious music academy, "Piano Lessons London by WKMT" with concert and composition activity for Broadway's "In The Heights" musical director in a new upcoming musical for Berklee College of Music's musical theater department.
Film and Music go together as both industries manage and control emotions and work as a tool for expression, either a feeling, an idea or a dream. It is hard to have a film without any piece of music in it. It ends up as dry. Music is the spice that all dishes need. The soundtrack music is the power engine of the film, it underlines the plot, highlights characters and foreshadows details as well. Music has a psychologic, functional and emotional purpose in a film.
To record a high level orchestra piece for any musical or film project, Ana proceeds to first to compose a "sketch" with a light orchestration that later embellishes it with a higher level or instruments and textures. A very characteristic aspect of her music is that she fuses electronic beats with the organic sound of the classical orchestra we all are familiar with, this provokes a sensation of a fresh and innovative taste to her original soundtrack scores.

Ana likes to enhance her scores with melodic and very emotional themes and details. Her aim is to keep developing new sounds, frequencies and instruments that change completely as well as they can eventually adapt to what we call today an “orchestra”. She is more oriented in composing and creating from raw materials rather than developing a technical skill. Using the technique she learnt at her Russian conservatory, she fuses a certain style of performing with the new instrument, which ends in a vanguard style sound.
