Music scored for podcasts

“Imagine a Southern gothic swamp opera conceived in a disco club…”

The title track and portions of the score for Unjustifiable were cut and mixed at Sun Drop Studios in Florence, AL. Legend has it there’s something in the water up here that makes that sound. FAME Studios and The Muscle Shoals Sound found it and cranked out hit after hit. We intend to do the same with podcasting.

I like to consider the guys at Single Lock Records and many of the session players that pass through Sun Drop to be part of the All-Scout troop, and I’m thankful to have worked with them on several projects. I hope to keep making special things together.

The musical mood and tone for Unjustifiable was heavily influenced by the music coming out of Alabama during the time of Bonita’s life, so we went back to the place that knew how to do it best.

Heavily saturated, humid, and alive.

Extra attention was placed on recreating the same recording methods and techniques that were common during that time, and having the ability to record with the very same type of analog gear produced results that speak for itself.

I often thought, “What was playing on the radio in the minds of people that knew her then? What is playing in the minds of people that remember her now?”

“A Sticky Tape(loop)” theme

-Sonic motifs derived from the sound artifacts of recordings from witness testimonies were sampled and combined to create an original track that served as a reoccurring theme through the series.
