‘It’s been almost three years since we last saw Jean and a hell of a lot has happened in that time. Jean and Blake were married for only 18 months when Blake went missing. Since then Jean has taken on her husband’s mantle as, a solver of mysteries. Murder, mayhem and Jean Blake are a potent mix and anything can and will happen.’
That’s the official blurb, meanwhile, I’ve started scoring the 88 minute feature length TV drama and there’s about 52 minutes of original score to write in 9 days. It’s exciting for me to revamp the soundtrack and the theme to reflect a new, yet very familiar, show; set in 1963 with Jean (Nadine Garner) and Alice (Belinda McClory) leading us down a windy path to solving more murder mysteries. The stars of my soundtrack are a little different this time, with new themes, and a larger, darker sounding string ensemble (featuring viola and cello), with a greater array of pulses and ambient electronics mixed into the classical setting.
Tranmission date to be announced via Channel 7 in Australia.
