TELEVISION SHOWS

In the past 12 months blarter music has composed music for a number of television shows. This is an area we see ourselves moving into more & more over the next couple of years. Thankfully the examples below show a hint of what we are capable of, rather than just the potential we showed this time last year.

Under each image below are links to examples of music we've composed for these shows. See the notes in the Technical Tips window if they won't play for you.

GREAT MOMENTS IN SCIENCE

Great Moments in Science is an animated series written and presented by Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, directed by Andrew Horne and produced by Deborah Szapiro for Freerange Animation. It's an educational series for school aged children, designed to instill a sense of wonder. It features episodes with stories such as the first man-made object in space ("Manhole Cover") and the story of US Airforce tests into G-Force which led to "Murphy's Law". The title pretty much sums it up.

The music for the opening titles had been composed by the time blarter music went a-knockin' on the Freerange Animation door. We composed music for the end titles, various derivations, and period music for each of them. Follow the links below to find a sample of the end credits music, a sample of the Medieval period music from one episode, and various samples of the thinking music from the package.
