After I’d worked with RedShirt films on Retro Fury, and had such a fun time doing so, I jumped at the chance to score their new sci-fi comedy series.
The Away Mission is the story of a couple of hapless spacemen stranded on a hostile planet with only their meagre wits.
I wanted to do something epic and orchestral for the main titles, and I think I hit the mark. It’s a nice juxtaposition with the madcap hi-jinks the crew get up to. The end titles was a blippy piece of electronica I hoped would get viewers clicking the ‘next episode’ button. I also provided incidental music and a snippet of space jazz-funk, unexpectedly making me the world’s leading supplier of space jazz-funk.
