TV Scores That Defy Genre
Description
Composers are smashing TV score boundaries with bold, genre-bending soundtracks for shows like “Murderbot,” “Pluribus,” and “Spider-Noir.” Amanda Jones blends analog synths and Korean reeds to mirror Murderbot’s robotic humanity, even penning a sci-fi soap opera theme. Dave Porter crafts haunting, childlike vocals for “Pluribus,” balancing a 50-piece orchestra with minimalist moments and a nine-voice choir to evoke alien hive minds. Jeff Beal leans into strings and piano for “All Her Fault,” using a boy soprano to embody the abducted child and chaotic electronics to mirror primal descent. Kris Bowers merges 1930s noir with modern sounds for “Spider-Noir,” using found percussion and electric guitar to build unforgettable character themes. Each composer is hunting that unique sonic fingerprint to make their shows unforgettable.
