In this remarkable study, Robert R. Faulkner shows that the
Hollywood film industry, like most work communities, is dominated
by a highly productive and visible elite who exercise major
influence on the control of available resources, career chances,
and access to opportunity. Faulkner traces a network of connections
that bind together filmmakers (employers) and composers (employees)
and reveals how work is allocated among composers and the division
of labor within the Hollywood film community, using statistical
analysis and highly revealing personal interviews. One of the very
first empirical studies in the "new economic sociology," Music on
Demand shows the dynamics of markets constituted by the interaction
between buyers and artistic talent (the producers and directors of
feature films) and the sellers of artistic talent (the composers of
film scores). Faulkner's interviews with those composers considered
to be elite and those on the industry's periphery reveal how they
perceive their careers, how they define commercial artistic
success, and how they establish, or try to establish, those vital
connections with filmmakers. Now available in paperback, this
pioneering study will be of compelling interest to researchers in
culture studies as well as readers interested in learning more
about this little-known world.
