🔴 NOW LIVE! A Conversation with Emilio Audissino, author of THE FILM MUSIC OF JOHN WILLIAMS

🔴 TODAY, Friday September 24 at 6pm CEST / 12pm EST / 9am PST

"Well, anybody that writes knows that thinking about what you're writing is a 24/7 thing. You get in bed at night and you think, "Ah, that should be this tune," or, "That should be a different key," or whatever. "It shouldn't be an oboe. It ought to be a flute." Now that's at 1:00 in the morning, you know. And it's very hard maybe to decompartmentalize these kind of activities for people who do what I do. One thing I would say about it is that it's a great privilege to be able to work the way I work. But it is so intense that you neglect things. You can neglect people. You can neglect family. I have wonderful children. My late wife is gone. But my present wife is very happy. But it does so consume your life, this work, which it really shouldn't. A lot of the work that I do is certainly not that important. But the process of doing it is so all-consuming just suggest the word you used, that is the truth of it. It's isn't a sometimes thing. It's a full-time thing."
