[Fmpro] "What Happened To Original Movie Music?"

[Mark Northam]

Hi James -

I'll let Mark H. respond to your question to him, but what really got me
about this article is the fact that an article all about the declining
"original movie music" does not mention score! Most songs are not original
movie music, they're generic songs dropped into a scene they work well with.
But they're hardly original to the film.

It's as if this writer has blinders on - if it doesn't have lyrics, it isn't
music and isn't even worthy of mention, much less exposure and credit.

Amazing.
