Case study
His mum took him to the symphony at six. Hundreds of years into classical music, the conductor still matters: knowing enough about every part to bring out the best of the sum. The orchestration era is here. One agent writes the script, another generates scenes, a third scores the music, a fourth handles continuity. The conductor brings the room.
Kevin is the counterargument to the fantasy that tools erase craft. The conductor is not the person making every sound. The conductor is the person who can hear the whole room and knows what the work needs next.
That is the orchestration era in miniature: enough literacy across the parts to guide them, enough taste to reject almost-right output, and enough humility to keep craft in the loop after the machine gets it close.
