TAR 25: Lee Sanders' Music Podcast!!
Lee Sanders:
I typically have 5-6 days to do the custom music for a particular episode, although it's rarely so regular as that sounds. Different cuts of episodes—and different scenes within different episodes!—often get ready at different times. So I work my way in a very roughly chronological fashion through a cycle.
georgiapeach:
Gosh, that seems so fast! Do you have an all time favorite leg, or one you are particularly proud of?
Lee Sanders:
I've been waiting for years for someone to ask me that! In Cycle 3, Episode 8, teams are in Zürich, where they have to run around town to find a bunch of numbers, then assemble those numbers to arrive at the combination to a safe (inside which lies their next clue). A big, active sequence that took up an entire act of the show (nine minutes or so).
For whatever reason, I got a very last-minute call to score the whole thing, completely 'to picture,' overnight. I worked around the clock, turned it in the next day, then slept for a long, long time. Maybe I should resurrect the music file and post it somewhere… I remember the mix wasn't exactly perfect, but it was exciting, edge-of-your-seat stuff to get it all finished in time.
georgiapeach:
Oh DO post it!! We'd love to hear it.
Thank you so much for sharing today!! We love hearing the inside stories. :funny:

I used that sequence in a speech I gave once! So, so brilliant.
