TV composers?

torontoguy · 03-06-2015, 01:42 PM

Just wondering if anyone has a good list of television composers for drama/thriller series? I'm thinking along the lines of Jeff Beal in House of Cards, Sean Callery in Homeland. And not super epic sounding stuff either...I love hearing ambient drone sounds and elaborate textures to set the mood in TV shows but I find you can never really find that stuff (much easier to find soundtracks of commercial songs like in Breaking Bad, but hard to find those amazing sound textures in the tense moments). Any suggestions would be awesome!

Thanks

Delia Derbyshire and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop for Doctor Who and a few other shows come to mind.

Angelo Badalamenti - Twin Peaks
Michael Giacchino - Lost
Daniel Licht - Dexter

I'm not sure about ambient drone sounds, but as far as soundtracks go...
