	♥ 7:02pm Greg from ZONE 5: WOW off to a good start…
	7:04pm SeanG: POZTIZO
	♥ 7:05pm Monica: nice!
	♥ 7:07pm chris: yes, loving this!
	7:09pm bunnywhiskers: This is cool
	7:09pm mary: great artist w great collaborators
	7:27pm P-90: Interesting, not all composers feel this way about listening to temp scores. Directors usually don't intend them as anything but broad indications of what kind of thing might be appropriate for some parts of the movie. If they're asking a composer to write an original score, they know what he/she gives them may be very very unlike the temp tracks. No?
	7:28pm JakeGould: @P-90: I think the problem is even a temp score imprints a prejudiced idea of what the final score would be.
	7:29pm P-90: @Devin: fascinating interview, by the way. I was just surprised to hear how strongly he felt about that issue.
	7:45pm JakeGould: “You’re not really left handed. You’re doing it to annoy people.” DAMN!
	7:49pm P-90: There's also always been a few right-handed guitarists who prefer to play left-handed. They always say they started playing that way as kids because it "felt" better or more natural and stayed with it.
	🎸 ♥ 7:52pm melinda: Good rant. I'm happy to hear copyright issues discussed.
	♥ 7:55pm Devon E. Levins: Sometimes the temp music is music that a director in a perfect world would simply use if not being that the licensing costs are cost-prohibitive. The end result can become a problem b/c nothing the composer comes up with can match up to the temp track if the director becomes overly attached to it. In such case the composer is left to simply try to copy it in a way that does not infringe the copyright. In such case, artistically it can become soul crushing.
	7:57pm SeanG: that was awesome
	♥ 7:57pm chris: Great interview! Great discussion about how copyright law. Very clear and well presented, which is rare.
	♥ 7:58pm chris: errr, no 'how' needed above there, sorry
	7:58pm B. Gordon: This is an excellent program sir.
	7:59pm P-90: @Devon: Bravo! I've read about a dozen print interviews with Ribot over the years, you got him to go much deeper than any of them.
	5:31am smonff: Very nice interview.
