Scoring the Music for The Watch – Season 1
Season 1 of The Watch has come to a climactic end, and it’s been an incredible journey to be part of this vibrant and unique series. Bringing the musical dimension of the show to life has been a thrilling challenge, and I’m so grateful to have collaborated with such an amazing cast and team.
All the songs that feature are original songs written specifically for the series, performed by incredible talents, including Crystal Axis, Inge Beckmann, Alive At Midnight, Marius Van Coller, and Wendell Pierce, alongside the brilliant lead cast: Richard Dormer, Marama Corlett, Jo Eaton-Kent, Adam Hugill, Lara Rossi, and Ingrid Oliver.
Thank you to everyone involved for your energy, creativity, and brilliance. It’s been a blast to see the music become an integral part of The Watch’s world.
