Auteurs in the ether | Alan Palomo | TEDxMarthasVineyard

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Alan Palomo explores the myth of the Auteur in two extremes: the autocrat who looks to himself, and the collaborator who looks everywhere else. By musing on the process of his musical project Neon Indian, he answers the question: If your inspiration comes from an inner monologue or an open dialogue, does either one make it any less original an expression? Alan Palomo is a Mexican born, Texas raised music producer kno
