Some cutting and frank responses there. I like his curt tone. He obviously writes good film music but isn't a huge fan of it overall. I like how he says the previous good ones ripped from all other music idioms, but a lot of the newbs are only channeling film music!

This reminds me of what happened with superhero comics artists in the late 80s - early 90s. We went from artists who took from all schools of illustration to artists who only took from the comics they'd read.
Batshit crazy? Seems like he's got it all figured out.
"I always say to students, why would you listen to film music? It’s the worst thing to listen to."
That's where he lost me.
Why? Being well-rounded is important in any field. If your only frame of reference is the narrow field you're working in, your work is unlikely to be particularly interesting or inspired.

Sorry, guess I misunderstood the intent of that comment. @ Shaun Rutherford- You are correct!
