Nico Muhly Interview For Pachinko | BGR Exclusive
Apple bet big on their new show, Pachinko, and that bet has paid off. It has been called "redefining," and "extraordinary" in terms of both beauty and drama. The first season begins in 1910's Korea and follows a family across generations and around the globe.
While composer Nico Muhly (The Reader, Kill Your Darlings) admits tying these places and times together was a daunting assignment, he is more than equal to the task. Muhly deftly uses his love of Anglican choral music and American minimalism to craft an original and emotional score for the 8-hour saga.
Nico took time from his busy schedule to talk with me about his Emmy nominated work, Throughline, as well as Apple TV+'s Pachinko. We discussed everything from scoring and recording during the pandemic to grappling with the history of the Japanese occupation of Korea.
In light of the high praise, Pachinko has recently been picked up for season two. I sincerely hope Nico returns to score it. The music is always emotionally stirring and sometimes aching. For those of you that may be curious, my favorite songs were Hansu Sees Sunja, Packing and Kimchi.
Pachinko stars Academy Award-winner Yuh-Jung Youn, Lee Minho, Jin Ha, and Minha Kim, Pachinko premiered March 25. All episodes are currently available.
Jonesy also does a solo review of Disney/Pixar's Lightyear
