Composer David Schwartz takes some time to talk about his work on the hit series Arrested Development. David is no stranger to the world of TV and we discuss his background as he shares how he came to score Northern Exposure and his many other works. We dissect the role of music in the "half-hour comedy" and what his approach and goals are for Arrested Development. David also shares his songwriting process as well. A fantastic interview with an iconic composer.
