Now, if you're a tech, or someone else who does something that needs to be done on the premises, then of course remote work is not really an option. But, I also have to say that there aren't that many composers that need a full-time
Insights on tech roles for composers, the shift to streamlined setups, and the decreasing demand for full-time assistants in music tech.

tech on site. First of all, because a lot of them have given up their outside spaces, but also because more modern younger composers have really streamlined their setups. They have simplified things, and they're tech-savvy enough to solve a lot of
