Beantown is a series developed for Adult Swim by Mike Manor. Our mission in sound design for this series is to create an atmosphere which retains familiarity from episode to episode.

We aim to balance that familiarity with some eclectic choices in the musical scores reflecting the variety of music played throughout a single shift in a modern Third Wave coffeeshop.

A creative guideline often used is for the score to express Robert’s internal world as it relates to the scene at hand. If Robert is panicked as 50 customers demand his immediate attention, the music is the sound of his brain attempting to process this swarm of input.
