21 Catfish episodes! (Matt Harvey's got that beat but….)
There are about a million excuses not to go to the Rally, and once you get there, not to network. There are even some excuses that seem pretty logical, like, "Why would I network with other composers? Aren't they the competition?"
I'm not one for hyperbole but I'm gonna say that the Rally pretty much shatters that excuse. Why? Because other composers, if they know that you and your work are up to snuff, can introduce you to new publishers/libraries/etc. That's what a fellow composer did for me, and that's behind the headline of this post.
At the 2013 Rally, a fellow composer who knew me and my work agreed to connect me with a publisher I wanted to get in front of. That introduction has resulted in placements on 21 Catfish episodes so far, as well as other MTV series, HBO Vice, CNN Inside Man and some nicely paid (and really fun) work-for-hire projects.
So get out there. Get to know your fellow composers. They could expand your reach into new libraries, either by introducing you or collaborating with you (another great thing to pursue as part of your TAXI adventure!).
cheers,
CK
p.s. Shout out to Matt Harvey, who is with the same library and must have more than 40 Catfish episodes to his name by now. He's killing it.
