New Moon is the best-selling soundtrack in recent times. The creative process behind the record was unique, involving the filmmakers, music supervisors, publishers, artists, and artist managers throughout production. Take a unique look at how a high-profile soundtrack is assembled, from start to finish.

The panel Case Study: New Moon is a highlight of the SXSW Music Conference. SXSW veteran Greg Sowders of Warner/Chappell Music moderates the group, which includes music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas of Chop Shop Music (pictured above), manager Jordan Kurland from Zeitgeist, Livia Tortella, GM of Atlantic Records, and artist Anya Marina, whose song "Satellite Heart" is featured on the soundtrack. This panel takes place on Thursday, March 18 at 12:30 PM, right after Smokey Robinson's 11:00 AM keynote. Hang out at the Austin Convention Center for these sessions and many more.
