composers like Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer compose that way,
improvise on a keyboard to a video until they find something they
like, then hand stuff off to their orchestrators.
i have a friend who has done a bit of film scoring and quite a lot of TV
incidental stuff. he can regularly churn out "40 seconds of parisian street
vibe with a techno undertone and hints of ethnic" or "farm fields with a
threatening backdrop" in about 5 minutes.
needless to say, none of the tools he uses run natively on linux, and
there's sadly nothing native for linux that he could use to do that job at
that speed.
I know what some of those tools are (or know of similar kinds), some
composers love those, and others hate them.
