Well for this show, I’ve been fortunate to work with ABC and Disney/Marvel. Everyone’s understood the need for a full orchestra. So actually we have a full symphonic orchestra at our disposal for every episode. So its a pretty big canvas. And you know, really Coulson’s theme is the theme of the show. He is the leader of this group. You’re going to hear a lot of big brass. We have six French horns. The score to Star Wars had four French horns. I mean six is crazy! And so a full section of brass that’s pounding out his theme when he comes out in his heroic moments. It’s pretty fun because as a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe he is a hero to us. We love him.

It’s really cool to be able to write him a fanfare like that, because in one of the movies that would be inappropriate. You wouldn’t do that for Coulson when Thor or Captain America are in the same story. But here Coulson he is the hero. So its like transferring the energy to him because he really is the leader. It’s all about him.

A lot of us fans are assuming J. August Richards is Luke Cage and of course you can neither confirm nor deny that. But can you tell me a little bit of the same kind of sound information that you’ve built for J. August Richards’ character and Ming-Na Wen’s character Agent May?

Uhhhh I can say this, in the pilot – which is the only one I’ve finished so far – I’m mostly about building a theme for the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., for Coulson, and I’m not yet getting into really specific character themes. I think on any good show but especially on a Joss Whedon-produced show, you know these things take time. So these are things I’m going to be expanding on in future episodes but really in the pilot, in the first one, the theme I want you to walk out humming is the main theme, Coulson’s theme. So, so really, it’s, I didn’t want to bombard people with a lot of thematic material. And there’s – there are a few other themes in there but I can’t really talk about it.
