About this listen

 Today we’re bringing Jeff Cardoni on to chat about his recent score for Whitehouse Plumbers! This five-part series tells the true story of how Nixon's own political saboteurs and Watergate masterminds, E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, accidentally toppled the presidency they were trying to protect.The first episode contains more light and “heist-y” music, akin to Ocean’s Eleven, with band elements, flute, and keyboard. From there the music slowly gets darker and more dramatic to reflect the actions of the characters. Jeff created a character theme for Hunt and Liddy, musically emoting their friendship and how much stress it can take before it fractures. The score was a challenge, having to figure out how to score a real-life story without giving anything away musically. Jeff approached the score like it was a five hour movie, rather than a five part series. The musical arc takes place throughout the entire series, rather than each episode having its own musical arc. The melodies tie throughout the show, starting with a smaller string section and growing to a larger orchestra towards the end.
