Placements on Jane the Virgin

Post by stevebarden » Sat Oct 14, 2017 10:36 am

I had 3 placements on the season premiere of Jane the Virgin. I was invited by the show's composer to contribute some guitar tracks. What surprised me when he asked me is how the show uses music. Usually, scripted shows have music composed to picture. But for this show the producers treat the show the same way a reality show uses library music: The entire score is made up from cues written by the composer and a few other team composers (like me!).
