Siddhartha Khosla – Only Murders within the Building (Main Title Theme)
The “Skip Intro” button first acquired launched to us by way of Netflix in 2017, and, I do know, lots of people use it – together with me. But, if I can get into old-man, back-in-my-day mode for a second, I’ve a lot fondness for the opening theme music for thus many reveals. It’s an opportunity to set the temper for every thing that you just’re about to see. One of the intros that I by no means skip is the animated opening title sequence for Only Murders within the Building, which is a Hulu present that debuted in August 2021, and now could be in its third season. It was created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, and it stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. The three of them play neighbors who stay in the identical constructing in New York, and so they’re all obsessive about the identical true crime podcast. And then when somebody of their constructing will get murdered, they determine to begin their very own true crime podcast, and try to remedy the thriller of who the killer is.
For this episode, I talked to the present’s composer, Siddhartha Khosla, in regards to the present’s theme music. Coming up, you’ll hear a voice memo that Siddhartha recorded earlier than he’d even heard in regards to the present, which then led to a demo that you just’ll hear, and ultimately, the ultimate theme.
