We chat with sherri_chung, composer for Riverdale and KungFu, about her work on the new animated series GremlinsSecretsoftheMogwai and adapting the iconic Gremlins theme:
Gizmo is back in Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, the new Max series that serves as a prequel to the hit 1984 film Gremlins. Although only a few episodes have been released thus far, reviews have praised the way in which Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai successfully captures the unique tone that made the original film a hit.
They obviously wanted to incorporate Jerry Goldsmith's themes, so fans will hear "Gizmo's Lullaby" in there, [and] obviously "The Gremlin Rag" is the main title and end credits, but the biggest thing they said for musical direction was they wanted to push the emotion. [They wanted to push not just] the heartfelt emotion, but the other emotions as well about Sam's journey--his fear, his guilt, the darkness.
I've found that to be the case with a lot of live-action that I've done, but not in the same way. [Animation] is a lot more hand-in-hand. It's really in lockstep with what you're seeing, because there are a lot of things that aren't necessarily conveyed as much in animation, given, like, the facial expressions. [That] is not to say that there's no subtlety or nuance in the acting and in the animation.
It did tonally have to take a journey, and [I had] to figure out, "Well, what is that sound?" because it is in animation, and it is a mythical creature.
If you are working with an instrument like that, that you haven't worked with a ton in the past, do you start out by talking to a player and talking about what the instrument can do and can't do? Sherri Chung: There was one; I'll go right to the beginning, to the opening. The opening is so daunting because it sets the tone for everything. There's the Valley of Jade, so we're seeing where the Mogwai come from for the very first time.
