publicist 4,484 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 You think a piece like NEPTUNE'S BAR came to Williams by accident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 6,637 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Of course they use them: they are called "talent", and "imagination". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,442 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Yes, well the last time someone got high off "imagination," Robin Williams wiped blue goo out of his eyes and Gene Wilder popped a coronary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,638 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I thought the thread title meant if composers use software to enhance the performance ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBuckFilms 181 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I don't think Composers use performance enhancing drugs, but I'd imagine some listeners may be using film scores as drug enhancing performances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlao-roo 388 Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 I'm surprised no one here actually ventured a serious answer. Informal polls have indicated widespread use of psychostimulants (beyond caffeine) and beta blockers in academia. Given the pressures of the modern film scoring scene, it's likely some composers resort regularly to consuming cognitive enhancers. I'm just wondering how prevalent the practice is.
