Geektown Radio will be back next week, but before we return for the main show, we have some more interviews for you! This week, I\'m chatting with the lovely composer, Jake Monaco.


Jake Monaco is an American film and TV composer, who has worked on a huge array of projects, from some of the biggest film scores of the past decade, to children\\u2019s TV shows, and everything in between. We\\u2019ve previously spoken to Jake about his work on Netflix\\u2019s \\u2018Dinotrux\\u2019, Amazon\\u2019s \\u2018The Stinky & Dirty Show\\u2019, along with working as a producer and composer of additional music for Christophe Beck, where he worked on things such as \\u2018Frozen\\u2019, \\u2018The Hangover\\u2019 trilogy, and \\u2018The Muppets\\u2019.


His latest project is a bit of a departure from his previous work, as he scores National Geographic\\u2019s \\u2018Incredible Animal Journeys\\u2019, narrated by Hawkeye himself, Jeremy Renner, which you can find on Disney+ in the UK. This fascinating nature series follows the travels of a huge array of animals, from the humpback to the dung beetle, and many other species. We discuss Jake\\u2019s approach to the soundscape of the series, and creating the music most fitting for each creature\\u2019s journey.


Since we last spoke to Jake he\\u2019s also worked on several other projects for Disney, including \\u2018Cars on the Road\\u2019, \\u2018Forky Asks a Question\\u2019, and \\u2018Lamp Life\\u2019, so we touch on those, and many of his other projects too.
