Ep 7: Practical Advice on Getting Gigs and Creative Constraints (Taylor Ambrosio Wood)

Update: 2018-05-20

Description

Recently I had the pleasure of speaking with Taylor Ambrosio Wood, a Berklee grad, marimbist, and talented video game composer. It was a great convo with some incredible insights. My favorite bits were how to go about prospecting for gigs, why rescoring game footage is probably not the best idea, and how to set up your DAW like a painter sets up their palette – these limitations breed great creativity. Taylor was a delight to speak with. You can listen to her tunes on her SoundCloud page. This interview is also available on YouTube Composer Code is also available on
