For the typically rowdy rock band on the road, "scoring" might not necessarily have anything to do with film music. Yet over the last couple of decades of making music, a number of rock talents have made the career leap from arenas to scoring stages, and the ranks of today's A-list composers include many with rock 'n' roll pedigrees. Film and television work still have strong attractions for a newer generation of rock songwriters and musicians. Technology has made it possible for almost any musician to develop composing chops in a home studio, and the prevalence of nontraditional scoring approaches in Hollywood projects would seem to open the composer door to a wider range of talents than ever before. But writing for a record and writing to picture are still very different skills, and the transition from rocker to composer can be a tricky one. (Hollywood Reporter)
