American Classic tells the story of Broadway
star Richard Bean who suffers a spectacular public meltdown and returns home to the family theater where he first became aware of his own brilliance. Once there, his extreme behavior sets off a series of crises among those closest to him: his ex-girlfriend (now the town’s mayor) married to his brother, his brother himself, and his beloved niece who dreams of a life in the theater. As old loves resurface and buried secrets emerge, Richard must confront the consequences of his past actions and the family and town he left behind for fame and glamour. Each season follows a different Richard Bean production that will reflect the stories unfolding in the lovable but flawed Bean family and the transformative power of making art.

Soundwaves: APEX Soundtrack From The Netflix Film Music by Högni
Emerging from the raw, acoustic textures
of the wilderness comes the APEX (Soundtrack From The Netflix Film), featuring a hauntingly visceral score by acclaimed Icelandic composer Högni. Timed with the film’s worldwide premiere on Netflix, the soundtrack offers a departure from traditional thriller music. Eschewing the industry’s standard synth-heavy tropes in favor of a daringly organic approach, Högni spent two months on location in Australia’s Blue Mountains to build a sonic world rooted in the acoustics of the wild. By strictly avoiding electronics to maintain a “non-urban” atmosphere, he integrated avian and insect-inspired instrumentation, utilizing woodwinds like oboes and bassoons to create “jittering,” animalistic textures that mirror the film’s predatory environment.
The resulting score is a study in dichotomy: balancing regal, melodic themes for the human characters against the fragmented chaos of the wilderness.
Soundwaves: Normal Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Music by Harry Gregson-Williams and Ryder McNair
Lakeshore Records announced the

For Sheriff Ulysses (Odenkirk), his provisional posting to the quaint Midwestern American town of Normal was meant to be a welcome respite from both his marital woes and recent moral injuries in the line of duty. But when a botched bank robbery interrupts the municipality’s tranquil pace, a dark secret is inadvertently exposed, and Ulysses soon discovers that the town is anything but its namesake.
