The Simpsons has fired its longtime composer Alf Clausen, after 27 years of service.
The Simpsons season 29 premieres October 1 on FOX.
Clausen has been the FOX animated institution’s sole composer since 1990, starting from season 2’s ‘Treehouse of Horror’, the first in The Simpsons’ long tradition of Halloween specials.
To work successfully at the same job for nearly 30 years is definitely a big accomplishment, and it’s a distinction Alf Clausen has earned by composing music for The Simpsons for nearly its entire run.
