Scoring Stranger Things with Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein

Published: June 16, 2022, 9 a.m.

b'We recently deconstructed how Kate Bush\\u2019s 1985 song \\u201cRunning Up That Hill\\u201d has found itself at the center of culture due to a placement in the Netflix, eighties, horror, sci-fi show, Stranger Things. For that episode we excerpted an interview with the composers of the show who shared great insights on how they created the iconic theme song and spooky soundscape for the most streamed show of 2022. But we want to share the full conversation with you because they have equally cheeky as well as valuable musical offerings to share. Surprisingly, this show steeped in 80s nostalgia, has a more contemporary soundtrack than you you might think.\\xa0\\n\\n\\nSongs Discussed\\n\\nKyle Dixon & Michael Stein - Stranger Things, Photos in the Woods, He\\u2019s Here, Soldiers, Agents, Starcourt\\n\\nKate Bush - Running Up That Hill\\n\\nTangerine Dream - Sorcerer Theme Song\\n\\nJohn Carpenter - Night\\n\\nVangelis - Main Titles (Blade Runner)\\n\\nS U R V I V E - A.H.B.\\n\\nS U R V I V E - High Rise\\xa0\\n\\nMerzbow - Woodpecker No.1\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
