Texto completo recogido del Twitter del compositor Joe Kraemer; sobre el estado actual de la música cinematográfica:

This is a sad truth for everyone trying to make it in show business - it is virtually impossible for people who are neither born into money or born into the business. And it IS a business - money is the bottom line. As one very successful producer recently told me "Joe, no one gives a shit about your art".
I can count the number of mainstream Hollywood composers that I KNOW write all their music themselves on one hand, John Williams being the most famous example. Everyone else is a team leader, a figurehead for a team of composers who are getting no credit, very little money, and no job security. None of us have any job security anyway. One of my closest friends made a deal behind my back that swindled me out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and then dumped me for a Zimling and this was after assuring me that working for him/her was the same as having a "savings bond".
In 2010, having score "The Way of The Gun" and close to 40 TV movies for the Hallmark Channel, I was so broke I had to sell my CDs and DVDs to feed my son. This is not a pity-party for me. This is just a reality check for people who dream of scoring movies in Hollywood: It is a cutthroat community of people who are in the business to get rich and famous. Writing music of any quality is secondary to that ultimate goal. And keep in mind, being an artist is not a civil right - no one owes me anything, even the ex-friend who swindled me. Making art is a hobby, and if we can manage to make some money from it, so much the better.
I promise to always do my best to write all the music in anything I score myself, and if I don't, to properly credit the people who co-write with me (i.e. @PenkaKouneva on #Pandora). I promise not to hire an 'assistant' who is really a ghost-writer. I promise to do my best not to just copy the temp, but to contribute to the film in a meaningful way. These promises have definitely impeded progress in my career - I haven't scored a single mainstream Hollywood movie since 'Rogue Nation'. But I also haven't ripped anyone off, or swindled my friends, or presented a false impression of myself to directors, producers, or studio execs. To the OP, Nadia, thank you for sharing your story. There are a lot of hard truths that need to be shown to those who hope to join this business.
I think often of a quote once heard, spoken by one of the cinema's greatest composers: "I got into this business to make a living. Now people get into it to make a killing." In closing, let me reiterate, this is not whining - this is a tough business, and it's not for the faint of heart to undertake. It can be wonderfully rewarding, but it is also impossibly challenging. I hope it can evolve to a community that helps each other rather than competes with each other.
