On today’s show, I go over five books that have transformed my way of thinking and helped in my career as a professional  composer, even though they’re not explicitly about the music industry.

Plus in my Year of Taxi update, we check in on any returns or forwards and take a listen to this week’s submission which is a fourth contemporary hip-hop cue, then a little later, I give my thoughts a lush orchestral cue written by 52 Cues Community Member, Dan Maynard (https://soundcloud.com/dan-k-maynard).
