Review of Profile of a (Reality) Composer

This piece focuses on the only aspect of reality TV that is in anyway real, and as such it provides an interesting (if brief) insight into the life of a modern-day musician with all the hightech gizmos he relies on. It provides historical perspective against a backdrop of familiar TV theme tunes and throws in a few surprising details like the fact that the Simpsons is one of only a few TV shows that uses a full orchestra for it's soundtrack. It is engaging and moves along nicely though it ends rather abruptly.
