25 – Jack Halama Interview – Scoring Disney’s Rivals + Making Bold Musical Choices

Jack Halama Interview – In this episode of Sync Music Matters I’m talking to BAFTA nominated multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Jack Halama.

He’s written for numerous productions including Disney+ comedy/drama Rivals to Netflix series Who Is Erin Carter? He’s also written additional music for a host of major series including Marvel’s Loki, and Star Wars spin off Obi Wan Kenobi.

Jack has a diverse background that straddles contemporary and classical education. Jack draws on eclectic range of influences blending guitars, synths and classical elements to create a unique style.

Rivals has a very distinct musical identity and Jack talks about the importance of making bold musical choices in order to create that identity. He also wonders whether it’s also the key to winning pitches. The importance of creating your own sounds and specifically recording instruments underwater.

We nerd out on what plugins and synths he uses and also talk about the underwater recordings he made for Netflix’ Who is Erin Carter – he literally recorded a guitar and cello underwater which makes for a unique sound palette.
