When Tim Burton needs a composer, Danny Elfman snaps up the gig. Fellow composer Chris Bacon lends a hand (no, not that hand!) in finding the right notes to score Wednesday
Originally signing on to score two episodes of Tim Burton’s “Wednesday,” Danny Elfman soon learned the production needed four such full-orchestra scores. “I’m like, ‘This is impossible,’” Elfman says. Frequent collaborator Chris Bacon replied: “It’s impossible — but we’ll do it.”
“When Tim called, when I first heard about, ‘Oh, we’re doing ‘Wednesday,’” Elfman said, “instead of shock, it was kind of like: ‘What took you so long?’” “When I’m collaborating with Danny,” says Bacon, “I try to approach whatever thematic material or tone that he’s set as ifwrote it. I try to get inside of it and understand it and know it well enough that it’s in my head, hopefully, as clearly and cleanly as it is in his.” In the case of “Wednesday,” he adds, the tone was “macabre Gothic, but there’s a wink to it as well.”Burton never likes his comedy scored with “funny” music.
