In this episode, Emily Rice talks about having her score for The I-Land walk a delicate balance somewhere between music and sound design. She reveals how she crafted her score to touch on the various elements of the series: the humans, the mysterious, and the sci-fi. Rice also reveals how an old song from "Bonnie & Clyde" becomes one of the many heavily processed sources in her original work.

Listening to Emily Rice's podcast really struck a chord with me, as a music producer and Recording Arts major at Full Sail. The impact of music on a scene in a movie, the suspense in a video games, and the emotion behind something as simple as a picture is truly incredible. Emily Rice's experience with the composing of the soundtrack to the Netflix Original Series, the I-Land, is amazing. She put together so many different sounds to contribute to the emotion of the series left so much to be desired. As a producer myself, I aspire to be able to do the things that she described doing in the podcast. The Annotator is a wonderful website in which creative types are able to release their creativity to the world. Copyrighted in 2019 by Tracksounds, The Annotator offers podcasts that provide learning opportunities for people who like to learn "how things work" or who want to hone their own craft through the inspiration of others. Though you can's physically see the person, there is VERY little doubt to a lack of credibility within the podcast. The cast with Emily Rice was not only equipped with detailed background information about her, but also annotated tracks (not for sale) to enhance the listeners understanding, and the immense detail in which she speaks leaves absolutely no doubt in my mind towards the truthfulness of the cast. Additionally, Emily Speaks very objectively about her process, rather than loading the cast with subjective feelings that offer little relevance....as some come to expect from podcasts! It is clear how someone in the audio arts industry would benefit from this amazing cast, with the details in the creation of the soundtrack. As for me, my inspiration has been so sparked that I will be using some of the methods discussed in my own original score VERY soon!
