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

After mysteriously inheriting an abandoned coastal property, Ben and his family accidentally unleash an ancient, long-dormant creature that terrorized the entire region-including his own ancestors-for generations. The score represents the most primal of human experiences: survival. The sound palette uses scraping metals to reflect the cold, metallic water tank where the creature lies. Using a detuned orchestra, Max’s music ebbs and flows, mimicking the slow breathing of the beast. Max comments, “The predatory nature of the creature is mostly slow, and then it strikes quickly when it attacks, and the score is the same. We mimic the slowness of the creature. Then when it comes time to attack is when the whole ensemble plays together.”The score was designed to reflect the monster’s environment and characteristics, sounding like an ancient orchestra. The simplicity of the motif is like an ancient chant; one could imagine when the creature attacked people 50 million years ago, they would be hearing the same score.

Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems-a decision that will have unimaginable consequences. Breaking away from the films’ horror genre, much of Willis’ score uses warm strings, flourishing harps, and breathy, ethereal pop vocals, emulating the innocence of a child. The film’s subject of AI gave him the opportunity to experiment with metallic sounds, managing to mix euphoric tones with vibraphones and synths while still sounding organic. While much of the score is lighter, Willis still utilizes classic horror music with noir references and intensely sinister orchestral sounds. The first track Willis wrote was the original song “Tell Me Your Dreams,” sung by Jenna Davis. The song was used during filming, the lyrics programmed into the doll so the actors could interact with it on a more personal level on set. His cover of David Guetta and Sia’s “Titanium” was a viral TikTok sensation, with more than 4 million plays on the platform. LISTEN TO THE SOUNDTRACK
