This score was and is one of the most unusual of its kind for American film, and TD received many offers thereafter. It was very exotic and had actually very little to do with electronics. The result could not always be used musically, but it was all very strange and quite different from the commercial pop sound. Studio-wise and technically, the situation was rather sparse. It was pretty rough and pretty adventurous.
Computers are crutches in the orthopedy of music.
They are over-rated. Most certainly, the computer has not improved the quality of music - on the contrary. Never before has there been so much empty and meaningless music as there is today. The computer or sampler can only be a time and work-saving means in the hands of a musician who has a story to tell. But Edgar and Jerome are definitely not addicted to computers.
