Notes Deacon: \u201cWorking on Task was perhaps the most musically rewarding experience of my career. I fell in love with the scripts and immediately began writing demos based on the emotional response from Brad’s writing. The story contains a massive expanse of emotional range, and we aimed for a score to accompany the scope of his writing. We talked at length about scale and density: when to be huge, when to be small, when to push in, and when to rest. It was a collaborative exploration of range.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The series builds its core musical motifs around “families” and how they interact and affect each other, shifting the themes and motifs as the story progresses. This approach helped us hone in on our main themes and approach them with a modular\/mashup mindset for building deeper, more interconnected relationships as the series progresses. \u201d<\/p>\n
