The music production house Bleeding Fingers Music has taken over scoring duties on the Fox animated series The Simpsons. Hans Zimmer and Russell Emanuel serve as score producers and Steven Kofsky is credited as the score executive producer. The composers are replacing Alf Clausen who has scored most of the episodes of the previous 28 seasons of the series. Danny Elfman’s main titles theme for the show is still being used. Zimmer has previously scored 2007’s The Simpsons Movie. Bleeding Fingers’ previous scoring credits include Planet Earth II, Survivor and Alaskan Bush People. Season 29 of The Simpsons created by Matt Groening is premiering tonight on Fox. Visit the official show website for updates on the show.
Well, this should be…interesting.
I was wondering why this season premiere’s score sounded awkward to say the least… Alf’s music has kept me interested all these years but I guess I’m Simpsons tapped out now.
So the Harold Hill of film scoring continues his takeover of the film and tv industry… 🙁
The Zimmer sausage factory has scored another victim.
Richard Gibbs, Ray Colcord (RIP), Arthur B. Rubinstein, Patrick Williams… Bleeding Fingers. What’s wrong with this picture?
In this new season there is little music than ever and it sounds very artificial, like everything remote control manufactures. Zimmer sausage factory have finish with the sou/heartl of The Simpsons, definitely…
Anyone know the name of the piano song playing during the cursive scene in the newest episode (Frink gets Testy)?
