Got as call from a big company to score a movie. They spoke as though I was an interesting choice as composer. Then they asked if they could send me a couple scenes to score, then the people in charge would select who they liked most without knowing who they were listening to. I love that line of thought, wish everyone did that all the time. Give the job to who sounds best not who is situated most powerfully. How radical.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Then before sending me the clips they sent me a legal paper to sign, stipulating every way I could be worth suing and I am expected to work on this test for free. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I wrote back and said if they still want me to do this test for free no sweat, but if they want me to sign a form addressing reasons I could be sued, no thanks. It puts me in a position to use a lawyer and then I have to spend money so maybe they should get someone else. Thanks anyway.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I’m curious to see if they decide I’m a flake or if they come back and say pretty please?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
