First, let me say that unionization will not solve all the challenges facing our community. The events which have led to our current state are many and varied. Collectively they might be appropriately referred to as the “perfect storm”. Some, but certainly not all, might be:
1. A veritable glut of young people desiring to become working media composers.
Why? Maybe it has to do with the availability of electronics. Maybe due to Star Wars. Writing music to picture makes lesser music more important and effective, not to mention having a film to use as inspiration.
2. Filmmakers graduating from film school without any training in the use of music as a post production tool.
How, then, can they be expected to adjudicate which composer or what music will best service their film?
3. Reduced cost of both film making and music making.

This personal wisdom (if indeed it is either personal or wisdom) comes to me at sixty-three years of age. Many things are falling away at this age, but retrospect and derivative knowledge are the offsets. No young person, unless he or she is clairvoyant, can claim this perspective.
Evolution moves at a glacial pace. It moves like the growth of a tree, like the appearance of facial hair on a prepubescent male. It seems to move slower as our attention spans shorten. Often evolution is imperceptible due to this slow pace until it reaches critical mass. When it hits critical mass, mankind clusters in an effort to speed up evolution. Global warming will be solved, but...
