"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 past 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"
