Yup! those are human, and sound pretty cool, too. After doing a great posthumous job as percussion instruments for my UTOPIA score, they now reside at the Brompton Cemetery in London. They've been on the road for years (ever since I took them out of Chile for a ride) and now that they've accomplished a very fitting role in the bold UTOPIA show, it was time to let them rest again, now under British soil.
When I first read the script for Utopia I was pretty disturbed by its violence and ultimately by the subject (no spoilers here).
As a composer I need to be absorbed into the story and to surround myself with imagery that'll help me live in that world, not unlike what an actor does. It's what attracted me to scoring in the first place.

Utopia was as dark and edgy an experience as it was funny and surreal, the awkward instrumentation (which also included a rhino turd that I brought from Zimbabwe) was just a small part of the equation. Director Marc Munden just won't stand for a generic score, which makes our collaboration a truly interesting experience as we both like to stay away from the obvious, making the search for the "tone" a very intuitive and spontaneous trip.

Directors Alex Garcia Lopez and Wayne Yip did an amazing job with the last 3 episodes from the series, ensuring continuity to master Munden's vision, as well as adding their own flavor and masterfully crafting the grand finale.
I think we all got lost in the insanity of this piece at one point or another during the process, just like its characters, then got back on track as we found the tone and just rolled with the madness What an amazing trip!
