Longtime composer Alf Clausen has been fired from The Simpsons
After 27 years of making jaunty cartoon music for The Simpsons, longtime composer Alf Clausen has been fired from the show. That’s according to Variety, which reports that Simpsons producer Richard Sakai recently called Clausen and told him that the show is looking for “a different kind of music,” so someone different will be scoring the series from now on. Considering how omnipresent and iconic Clausen’s score has been, though, it seems likely that any “different kind of music” will be a huge change for The Simpsons.
