Jake Monaco | Composer: Incredible Animal Journeys (National Geographic)

Composer Jake Monaco sits down for a brand new Film.Music.Media conversation!

Jake takes some time to talk about his path to becoming a composer and some of the early projects of his career. Jake talks about scoring animation and what his approach is to scoring television for younger audiences. We also dive into his approach to scores like Jerry And Marge Go Large, Cars On The Road and his newest score to National Geographic's Incredible Animal Journeys.

We look into how Jake created different and unique sonic palettes for each episode, and what his starting point is when approaching nature docs. From instrumentation to knowing how to navigate narration, Jake takes us into his approach and we have an absolute blast!
