If I were doing five cop shows, I'd probably start struggling to find an identity for each one and struggling to find inspirations.

With television you are producing hours and hours of music and for film it is a shorter experience for both the audience and for you as a composer.

If I switch showrunners and I get to stay on the show, I approach it like it's their show, and I'm here to write their music for them.

I always like to think I build in historically accurate musical in-jokes that are so precise that like maybe there's 7 or 8 people in the world watching the show that will sit up and go, "Oh my God the music being played is the right kind of music!"

I'm not a good enough musician to like completely master something in a couple of days and turn it around.

I think the thing that music can do is be unsettling. It is abnormal - music that's perceived to be different in an unresolved or unusual way.
