Neal’s monster score leveled up the adventure, and hearing themes from our songs interwoven in his work was so inspiring to me as a writer. It’s hard to think of a project that allows for such wide exploration and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. We got the chance to dive into funk, indie pop, rock, hip-hop, Broadway, and metal. It felt liberating to have no boundaries in terms of genre. Because we sang in the same college a cappella group, I knew Sam could wail like an 80’s hair band frontman, but could also dial in the control of a seasoned musical theater performer. I’m grateful to have been given so much trust in helping to bring this vision to life.”Īdds Habib: “It was all laughs working with Sam to bring his character Scanlan’s songs to life. But for all the plans I had the show would often take me in completely unexpected directions. I knew I wanted the music to be thematic, orchestral and as big as the stories being told. I knew I wanted to try to capture the excitement I felt watching Saturday morning cartoons as a kid but without sounding retro or campy. A score that could compliment Sam and Peter’s wonderful songs, play the straight man to the comedy and resonate with the darkness just beneath the surface.
