Maybe I should also point out that when writing for another composer such as I have alluded to... your name still appears on the cue sheet as composer or co-composer and you make ascap/bmi royalties... But in the end credit scroll it says "music by [Your Boss]" and doesn't mention you.

I was told a lot of people that get to that level of notoriety in composing incorporate their own name. So saying "Music by Hans Zimmer" would be no different than saying "Music by Megatrax" or "Music by EMI", etc... They are referring to the corporate entity, not the individual...although in the end they are really one in the same. But who knows...

"We were working on Raiders [of the Lost Ark]. He [Ben Burt] told me that the sound source for opening the lid of the ark in the last reel was within 20'. I couldn't figure it out. It turned out to be lifting the back off the toilet above the water chamber, and slowing it down." -Tomlinson Holman
