Which jobs will you refuse ?

I can't stand unrealistic deadlines. I hate working under stress. It might come across as being a jerk or being presumpteous but I just hate working under stress. I get the most satisfaction from working on a project that is in it's early stages and where we can gently build the blocks for the musical part of this creation to mature in a calm and steady way. Unless it's a small project with 1 song or piece of score to create, I'd hate to get messages like "you would have o create an entire score of 10+ pieces of music in 15 days please".  Inspiration and music production is like caviar, it's not Coca Cola which can be mass produced all the time.

I am also reluctant of doing musical pieces that are intense in the need of instruments I can't provide authenticity for. (folk, irish dance, european contemporary music, spanish guitar, etc)

The reason for this is that this music needs to be very intimate in nature and needs the instrument's authenticity to shine and stand out in authenticity.  Although I already have a huge library of virtual instruments that can sound very convincing, I'm "blind" on several areas and need to purchase several more to make my ability to "sound authentic" enlarge in several more areas. We can discuss this (with examples) when we make an agreement. Productions of asian, new age, dance, pop, electro, dubstep and symphonic rock will probaably work out well, but for any other genres, we can arrange that I make an example and we'll see if it sounds right.
