Digital Recording not BS for Penn & Teller
|
BUENA PARK, CA (November 18, 2003) A TV show called Bulls--t! conjures up any number of images, but for the team of Penn & Teller, it's simply a fun forum to expose things that are precisely that. For EMMY Award-nominated composer Gary Stockdale, it's an exercise in every musical genre "from Mozart to 60's porno music" that calls for a large number of cues, changes in mix configurations, and a combination of new and vintage gear.
"Penn & Teller never go for the easy trick," explains Stockdale, who has been associated with the duo for more than 15 years. "For this show, most of the scoring is done in postproduction. Since it's documentary format, they'll shoot a bunch of footage and edit it down, and then I'll write the type of music that best helps get the message across. As the composer, I'm simply adding an extra level of editorializing to the show."
Now in its second season on the Showtime network, Penn & Teller: Bullst! is an entertaining journey in debunking various bizarre topics Related Links: 02R96
