[Fmpro] A composer going loopy

[leshurdle]

I have no idea where the word 'composer' came from, but might one  
'composite'?

In visual effects post-production, compositing refers to creating new  
images or moving images by combining images from different sources –  
such as real-world digital video, film, synthetic 3-D imagery, 2-D  
animations, painted backdrops, digital still photographs, and text.

Don't composers 'blend things' from all and any sources?
