Mac Quayle (Mr. Robot, American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Feud: Bette and Joan, The Politician) has composed the original music for the new HBO docu-series The Vow. The show is directed by Jehane Noujaim & Karim Amer (The Square, The Great Hack) and examines the self-improvement group NXIVM, whose leaders have been charged with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. The 9-parter takes a look at the organization faced with various charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, against its highest members – most notably founder Keith Raniere, who was convicted in June 2019 and is currently awaiting sentencing. Amer & Noujaim are also executive producing the project with Geralyn White Dreyfous, Mike Lerner, Nina Fialkow, Lyn Davis Lear and Regina K. Scully. The Vow will premiere on August 23 and will air Sunday nights on HBO and will also be available to stream on HBO Max.
Quayle also has the Netflix series Ratched starring Sarah Paulson (to premiere on September 18, 2020) coming up. The composer also continues to score FX’s Pose and American Horror Story and co-score Fox’s 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star.
The soundtrack is wonderful, and I hear very distinct influences from Tangerine Dream, especially their album Stratosphere.
