Miriam Cutler – Composers need community

I think it’s part of each person’s individual style that dictates how they build their team. It’s very important to have a community of composer friends and other music people. They're not necessarily your competition - you need their support too. The industry tends to foster a fluid community of people who have different skills and are available to each other. You pull people in for one project and then you let them go when it’s done, and you hope that they’re available the next time that you need them.
