Stranger Things Composers Break Down the Show's Music

"Stranger Things" is quite the hit TV series, 8.9 at IMDB.  The music is a big part, and these two tell how they go about it.  I have a few old analog synths, but these guys have a boatload of analog gear.  I especially like the discussion at about 7:15, where they used microtonality (the sounds between the piano keys) for eerie effect.

    You're welcome.  I am just finishing the second season.  One interesting thing to me is the show occasionally comes across as a parody.  E.g. immediately after a particularly harrowing escape (trying to avoid a spoiler), we get two characters calmly saying "Hey, Bob."  "Hey, Jim".   Reminds me a little of "The Cabin In the Woods"  (2011), which I like a lot ... three stars out of four from Ebert:  " ... it's exciting because it ventures so far off the map. One imagines the filmmakers chortling with glee as they devise first one bizarre development and then another in a free-for-all for their imaginations."   Yeah, sounds like "Stranger Things".

    laugh
