Keynote speech: Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein
How do you create an original soundtrack that keeps the audience on edge? And how do you keep innovating that original soundtrack when the series goes on for more that four seasons? Composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein answer these and more during their keynote speech. With their hypnotising, electronic and bone-chilling themes they have crafted a soundtrack that is well known by TV-lovers as the ‘Stranger Things’ soundtrack. The Netflix series is beloved for its use of music, but it’s the score written by Dixon and Stein that really brings the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana and the characters to life. While their music for the early seasons focused on the timeless sound of '80s analogue synthesisers, they started to harness melodies and atmospherics befitting Eleven and Mike's interdimensional struggle.
