SERIESFinneas O'Connell created the score for Netflix's 'Beef' series using "swarm of bees" vocal synths
Oscar-winning producer Finneas O'Connell revealed that while composing the music score for the second season of Netflix's series, he used synthetic instruments that produce sounds like a "swarm of bees" to reflect the tense atmosphere. O'Connell, a renowned musician known for his Oscar-winning work on the James Bond film "No Time To Die" and his sister Billie Eilish's Grammy-winning song "Bad Guy," detailed these design choices at Deadline's Sound & Screen Television awards season closing event.
In the sound design for the second season of Beef, O'Connell adopted an innovative approach to musically convey the show's tense and anxious atmosphere. This characteristic "swarm of bees" effect created with synthetic instruments aims to draw the audience deeper into the series universe dominated by conflict and discord.
O'Connell's sound and music design strategy demonstrates that in intense drama series like Beef, music is not just a background element but a central tool in storytelling. The producer creatively uses technological tools to successfully influence the audience's emotions.
The findings presented at the awards season event indicate that the music for series made for digital platforms is becoming increasingly sophisticated and that sound design is an integral part of production. Finneas O'Connell's work on Beef exemplifies an innovative approach in this field.
