Great Q&A, Amanda Toney! Daily Bruin asked Laura Karpman "How do different instruments represent different characters in “American Fiction?" That's an interesting way of looking at music and character.

What a cool lady! I love her approach to starting with piano as the backbone of her composition based on the main character's name!

Amanda Toney Love it! Thanks for posting!
I had a director recently who was amenable to me coloring a bit outside the lines, and it’s so much fun! When she heard the cue for the first time she got all excited and was asking “What’s that killer sound??? What did you do??”. And the momentary silence when I sent her a picture of the shovel and hammer from my garage! I live for those moments!
Cheers!
