Description
For Emmy-nominated composer, Amanda Jones, the challenge to create a sonic universe to match NatGeo’s Super/Natural series filled with the world’s most extraordinary animals, was a welcome one. For this score which she describes as “percussive heavy, very organic, guttural and raw, and a little bit weird,” Amanda details how she utilized a vast array of instruments including Afro Venezuelan and Afro Columbian percussion, wooden flutes, acoustic guitar, violin, congas and a ukulele, to bring a spectacular universe of animals to life. The Vassar and Berklee College of Music grad’s innovative and experimental approach to creating music, manipulating and stretching the tone and sounds of each instrument, was key to creating a musical narration for everything -- from flying squirrels to elephants. She even made spiders sexy, tune in now to find out how.
