This article answers Philip Auslander's call for theatre and performance scholars to take music seriously as an object of study. The study also extends that call by considering music as a performance method in experimental work. Specifically, the author offers an analysis of her own practice in a performance she created entitled 'The Life and Times of King Kong' as a way to continue this conversation. Drawing on popular notions of a film's score, the author offers multiple possibilities for including original music in live performance. Given the growing accessibility and interest in digital-electronic music making, this timely article encourages others to consider including original music in their productions. It ends with a practical list of possibilities for the use of original music in live performance
