We Need to Talk About Oscar

Creating a score that perfectly matches the atmosphere of a new show is a challenge, but when a series is renewed, the composer faces the additional task of evolving, while maintaining the music’s familiar essence. Our next guest, Marty Beller, found himself in this exact situation transitioning from Season 1 to Season 2 of ‘American Rust’.
In this episode, Marty talks to Áron about balancing the differences and similarities between playing in a band like They Might Be Giants and composing for TV shows and films.
