No publisher is gong to edit publish, print, and ship your tome around to all the Barnes and Nobles if everyone can read it on line for free.

We need to just take control of our own destiny and not rely on MySpace to be the guardian of our art.

Hello Turnaround,
Welcome to JPF and thanks for weighing in with your comments and viewpoints. I can't find anything to disagree with, so I might as well be agreeably agreeable!

It's interesting that you are a composer for TV and Film. Then you've probably heard of Film Music Magazine published by Mark Northam who is very "pro" composer since he also did that for a living for a number of years.

Probaby the bulk of your income is from music licensing. This is getting to be an important (positive) topic around these JPF boards, especially on the Industry and Mentor forums. Hopefully you'll be able to "open up" to us and share what you've learned about music licensing. I'm sure there'll be some lively and educational discussion going on.

Looking forwards to more of your posts and maybe getting to hear some samples of your music sometime.

Best regards,
Michael

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
