Why I started this blog

The reason I started this Blog is so that I can share some enlightenment about the strange world of Film Scoring - composing music for picture.

As I advanced in my career, it became clearer that learning how to compose was not enough. You not only need to learn how to do your job, you need to know how to get it and you need to know what comes with the job. Every job is different and every director is different.

So, I will be posting some guidelines (there are no rules) about PR, business, budgeting, composing for picture, working with a team... and maybe some little breathers. I will also share some exclusive articles from experienced professionals that I have been lucky to meet.

I am not, in any circumstance, an established composer (that would be awesome though... who wouldn't love that?). However, I'm developing my own career and dedicating 12+ hours a day working when there's projects going on. When things calm down, I tend to see what else I can do to improve productivity. Personally, there's nothing more frustrating than a wasted day.

A brief overview about myself on my next post!

Note: I know some artists view business as selling their artistic soul to the devil. That's what I call bad business. There's a good kind of business and that's the one I like to practice.
