  • Summary

  • Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, I sought out a way to create content that, like Coffee With Composers allows people to connect to musicians on a personal level. During this time, I thought we needed it more than usual. When members of the Glenn Korff School of Music reached out to me about creating videos to help keep our community connected, I thought this would be a perfect idea. Going beyond the Flyover New Music Series, in Chatting With Creators, I connect with various creatives from the music industry to talk to them about how they’re dealing with the pandemic, their advice for students, and most importantly, how we all stay connected even when we’re apart. I thought this would be a one-and-done series, but I've had so many requests to continue! I love making the series, so here's season two! For season one information, check out sapphiretoth.com

    Giosuè Greco and WELCOME TO WREXHAM | CwC S5E5
    Jul 3 2023

    Today we welcome to the show Giosuè Greco to promote his latest score for Welcome to Wrexham the docuseries that follows the purchase and stewardship of Wrexham AFC, one of professional football’s oldest clubs, by two Hollywood actors, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Season one is available now on Hulu and FX, with a second season coming soon. His score is currently up for Emmy consideration in the Documentary Series category.Giosuè aimed to create a soundtrack that would capture the epic and anthemic energy of the UK football game and its passionate fans, while also incorporating the comforting folk sounds unique to the small town of Wrexham, Wales. To achieve this, he merged these two seemingly contrasting musical elements, resulting in a composition that embodies the spirit and character of the community. As Giosuè grew up in a small town, similar to Wales, he had an emotional connection to the series, giving him the idea to grow the music as the series progresses. The instrumentation includes piano, strings, bombastic drums, saxophone, and electronic elements, creating a versatile tone for the show.Follow Nate: linktr.ee/natebryant3Follow Giosuè: linktr.ee/soundslikegiosue

    Jeff Cardoni and WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS | CwC S5E4
    Jul 3 2023
    Today we’re bringing Jeff Cardoni on to chat about his recent score for Whitehouse Plumbers! This five-part series tells the true story of how Nixon's own political saboteurs and Watergate masterminds, E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, accidentally toppled the presidency they were trying to protect.The first episode contains more light and “heist-y” music, akin to Ocean’s Eleven, with band elements, flute, and keyboard. From there the music slowly gets darker and more dramatic to reflect the actions of the characters. Jeff created a character theme for Hunt and Liddy, musically emoting their friendship and how much stress it can take before it fractures. The score was a challenge, having to figure out how to score a real-life story without giving anything away musically. Jeff approached the score like it was a five hour movie, rather than a five part series. The musical arc takes place throughout the entire series, rather than each episode having its own musical arc. The melodies tie throughout the show, starting with a smaller string section and growing to a larger orchestra towards the end.

  • The L Word: Generation Q | CwC S5E3

    The L Word: Generation Q | CwC S5E3
    Jun 20 2023
    THE L WORD: GENERATION Q. Now in its third season on SHOWTIME, the hit show has gone on to create a very special musical episode featuring the epic song, ‘All About Me’. The powerhouse writing trio came together in one room to create this powerful anthem, making sure to not only honor the story and characters that audiences have grown to love, but also to create a song (performed by Rosanna Zayas), that viewers who go through turbulences and challenges in today's world can relate to. Sophie finally breaks free and finds her authentic voice with ‘All About Me.’ The skillful song-writing trio explained that Sophie stands for all of us who have or are going through life’s transformations. "This song is all about Sophie but it represents all of us, not just as individuals but our voices as women, as a black woman, and as a lesbian woman. Once we go through the ‘it’s about me’, it becomes a collective about us.”For more from Sapphire check her out here: https://linktr.ee/sapphire.toth
