Los Angeles, December 2016 -
Best known for working on film scores such as Guardians of the Galaxy
and with a huge body of music under his belt, Kurt Oldman is a very
happy Audient user. So when Audient asked him which of his latest
endeavors he was most inspired by recently, his response was an
interesting one. "I wrapped Flight 192 a couple weeks ago, and we're
chipping away at Marvel's latest blockbuster," he says nonchalantly.
"Right now though, I'm doing season two of Bryan Cranston's stop motion
show: SuperMansion, which is just a blast for me."
Based around a team of
retired, burned-out super-heros with more than a little emotional
baggage, the comedy cartoon from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios is streamed on
Sony's Crackle and has proved an exciting challenge for Oldman. "I think
animation really keeps you on your toes as a composer. You don't have
the luxury to do the same thing for an extended period of time. Unlike
any other genre it really isn't so much about the overall tone and
emotions, as it is about a thousand little moments and gestures you have
to hit. To weave all these hit points into a comprehensive cue really
is the challenge here. You can't miss a beat."
