Conducting and composing led to arranging music for pop and jazz musicians, one recent high-profile project being arranging and conducting the film music of fellow Aussies Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, performed at three sell-out shows in Melbourne and Sydney. “I could see how much the music was adding to those films,” says Buc.īuc’s first conducting experience was with the Melbourne Youth Orchestra, when he was pushed to take the podium for a piece he had composed for the orchestra.
“I was very fortunate to have composition lessons at the high school I went to.” As a budding composer, Buc recalls being inspired by John Barry’s music for the early James Bond films (“It was such a cool blend of pop and rock music with orchestral layers over the top.”) as well as Williams’ scores for the first three chapters of Star Wars. Growing up in Melbourne, Australia, Buc studied violin and piano, and began composing as a teenager, “I was always adding things to the music that I wasn’t supposed to,” says Buc.
