Kids stuff, right? Well, considering that our audience watches and listens with wide open eyes and ears, and that children are our future, I feel a certain weight of responsibility to get it right. I try to write music that is simply smart. Sophisticated, not playing down to our audience. But what an opportunity for creativity! I'll take every inch of the rope I'm given...
After conversations with the producing team, I choose a palette of sounds and instruments for the score that will give the show a unique character and musical identity all its own. And the musical themes follow in the same vein. Kids love music with lots of character and hooks – music that smart, but easily accessible at the same time.
For best listening, please wear headphones or listen through a sound system!
