[ANITA]

Glazbene knjiznice u USA meni placaju po 1000$ po minuti. Ponekad je znalo biti samo 500$, a (samo) jednom je bilo i vise! to plus tantijemi itd...

U hr za najobicniju bezveznu reklamu od 25 sec se dobije 1oooE (bruto, minus porezi 12% ako si clan HGU). Bez tantijema...

RAditi pjesme za nekoga? To je vrlo nezgodno jer bi s jedne strane trebao imati nesto posebno da izaberu bas tebe ispred nekog drugog, a opet s druge strane ne smijes imati nista posebno jer se to ne prodaje. Stoga, lako je odabrati nekoga tko je vec u biznisu, cije se ime prodaje (ma koliko ljigavo bilo)...
No, nije nemoguce. Treba biti uporan. JA kad skladam za druge, ja razmisljam o toj osobi, sto mogu napraviti BAS za nju/njega i tada ponudim. Ovako, kad radim nesto za sebe, po svom gustu, to onda saljem taxiju pa ako prodje, prodje, ako ne ne... mozda jednom bude, a u meduvremenu skupljam materijal za svoj album.

Ne znam.... meni osobno je to nezgodna stvar. Ako radim nesto razljigavljeno, ne zelim da moje ime stoji iza toga, a ako radim nesto lijepo, tesko mi je to prodati. Ali onda se sjetim ovoga sto mi moj dragi prijatelj svaki put posalje kad imam dilemu oko ovog (znam da vi nemate, ali evo ja malo sirim temu!):

By the way, the problem of letting your music go seems to be very common among composers. There is a passage about "Letting Go" in Jeff Rona's book "The Reel World" which I would like to cite here:

"It is natural for any composer to take care and pride in everything he or she does. You strive to make everything perfect. Each note, phrase, sequence, instrumentation, performance, and recording should be the absolute best possible. You want to put your heart and soul into your work, and believe that it is critical that you do so. Yet, at the same time, once you have completed your assigned task (and remember, you are the one being hired by other people to help them with their projects) it is time to simply let it go. Buddhist monks and Hindu yogis spend their entire lives learning to let go of their emotional attachment to things. One time I had the pleasure of watching a group of Tibetan monks spend weeks creating an enormous, unbelievably complex and beautiful artwork made from different colours of sand. When it was done, they held a brief ceremony in which they simply swept it up with a broom and threw it away. The beauty for them was in its making, there was no reason for them to leave it around just to have it decay or take up space. They had perfected detachment from the fruits of their labour. There is a lesson for many of us. Once something is done, it is done. Time to let it go and move on. Think of it as the "Zen" of film scoring: Be passionate and caring about every note you write as you write it. But once you are done, let it go. It no longer belongs to you. This simple thought will help you keep things in perspective." (Jeff Rona, The Reel World, Chapter Nine, Career Challenges, p. 200)
