\"\"Sometimes people approach me to score a film and explain how to write the music. Weird when they do that; probably they never before worked with a composer. It is as though they assume that is what directors do with composers. But I feel like I’m on a date with someone who has never been kissed. I can sense they’re nervous about everything I do. No matter what – the kiss is doomed. Might be better to not go on that date but those are also moments I’m sometimes proud of. Dealing with dumb situations, gracefully. Hopefully.<\/p>\n

Those experiences taught me if someone has expertise in something I want to do with them, then I should try to give them room to show their talent and their instincts because that’s how I would like to be treated. Like a video director, or a guest soloist or a luthier. If it doesn’t work then we’ll try to pick up the pieces but that’s better solved later than trying to control their contribution before we start.<\/p>\n

That’s my opinion you didn’t ask for thank you very much. And I’m not looking at you Tony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
