How did you land such a great gig?
I cant think of another series that presents an opportunity like this.I know, right?
We turned out having similar thoughts about wanting the heart of it to be the original theme.
They were really amazing in giving me space and freedom to be creative.
I had lots of time to think about ideas and play around with ideas.
I really wanted that to be the heart and the core of whatever I was going to do.
In the final theme, what you have are a number of elements from the original.
Some as they were, but most of them are played with some additional elements.
Its remnant of the past and its also bold and fresh and new.
When I got to the theme, it was a case of tinkering and experimenting.
I really wanted to ask questions about how far I could play with it and mess around with.
It made the direction to go in really obvious.
What we tried to do was have the music modern.
That was one of the pillars.
It was having lots of influences.
It didnt have to be definable as one thing or one sound.
Its not just electronic or just classical.
I pulled from every genre all led by the story.
What other types of sounds did you experiment with?
It was one of the earlier versions I made, actually.
The other two were much more ambient and much slower.
Of course, the theremin remained.
That was never going to be excluded, I imagine!I wouldnt dare!
