Jacob Yoffee & Roahn Hylton - Composers (The Age of A.I., Sherwood, Best Shot)

TSAP S03E01 OUT NOW!


In the first episode of the year (and decade ), we kick off
season 3 with composers Jacob Yoffee and Roahn Hylton.


In this episode Sam discusses with them about scoring YouTube's
The Age of A.I. hosted by Robert Downey Jr.,how they began
working together, how to compose as a duo, as well as how their
contrasting backgrounds of hip-hop and classical lend to each
other.
"The composers each have their own musical specialty—Jacob has
classical/jazz roots and Roahn has a hip-hop/pop background.
Their expertise in opposing genres allows them to broaden the
palette on any score they collaborate on and has also enabled
them to have a better understanding of one another’s musical
sensibilities.


For The Age of A.I., Jacob and Roahn were originally asked
to deliver a signature sci-fi sound, which is electronic-heavy.
After their initial approach, the duo and their collaborators
quickly realized that this wasn’t the right fit for the series.
After a great deal of experimentation, they landed on a sound
that was more human and organic. The resulting score is mostly
orchestral and acoustic chamber music, with some electronic
elements and perfectly speaks to the message of the docuseries."
