TAR 25: Lee Sanders' Music Podcast!!
Lee Sanders:
The screen capture for Episode 3 looks like I ate something unpleasant. Why, YouTube, must you torment me like this?
Seriously, though, the Viking-music thing was a revelation to me, too, when I began researching it a few months ago. I figured there would be a crazy amount of information out there, artifacts all over the place, references in historical records… not so much.

Lee has run into a "RoadBlock" this week but will be back with more on Monday!
Lee Sanders:
…aaaaand I'm back. Here's the new podcast. Check out the discussion of themes, in particular—I'm planning to talk about several other themes in episodes to come, but this one (the Adventure Theme) is the biggest and most frequently recurring (with the exception of the "Previously On…" music, which is different because it's almost always the same exact piece of music).
You'll see what I'm talking about by watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwYm-Ulwo90
Hope you enjoy it!

Lee, I've been drafting a really, really long reply about the "Adventure" theme, but you beat me to it in your podcast!
It's definitely my favourite musical element in the show, because of how it's adapted to different cultures while still remaining coherent and recognisable, like the early Survivor themes! I caught it in the introduction to Shetland two weeks back, and I've been paying attention to it since it was used in the finale of TAR 1 with Rob/Brennan running to the finish line before seguing into Now We Are Free... Missed its use in Sant'Agata though.
And you came up with a second Hawaiian Adventure for TAR 3 - I remember a ukelele steel guitar (?) playing the theme over Flo complaining about being hungry!
Separate question: I remember you saying all the music on TAR is original (except Now We Are Free?), but how often does the music you produce get adapted for use in other shows? I distinctly remember an African tune (women vocals going ay-ay-ay...) being used "wrongly" in some Pacific location on Survivor!
