In Working Musicians Timothy D. Taylor offers a behind-the-scenes
look at the labor of the mostly unknown composers, music editors,
orchestrators, recording engineers, and other workers involved in
producing music for films, television, and video games. Drawing on
dozens of interviews with music workers in Los Angeles, Taylor
explores the nature of their work and how they understand their
roles in the entertainment business. Taylor traces how these
cultural laborers have adapted to and cope with the conditions of
neoliberalism as, over the last decade, their working conditions
have become increasingly precarious. Digital technologies have
accelerated production timelines and changed how content is
delivered while new pay schemes have emerged that have transformed
composers from artists into managers and paymasters. Taylor
demonstrates that as bureaucratization and commercialization affect
every aspect of media, the composers, musicians, music editors,
engineers, and others whose soundtracks excite, inspire, and touch
millions face the same structural economic challenges that have
transformed American society, concentrating wealth and power in
fewer and fewer hands.
