"When a producer or director feels like the scene needs more to move it along and it doesn't really, and the composer is asked to push the scene forward. It's so contrived and very off-putting. It shouts out that the producers don't trust their material and that irks me. I have no problem when it's warranted, those scenes where we want more excitement, when the music can really help keep moving it forward. I mean it irks me when it would be better not to do this and we're only doing it because the scene wasn't working or out of fear from the director that "someone might flip channels" if it's a TV show."
