New OdysseyNotes coming out tomorrow morning! It’s for composers who are tired of all the emojis and ALL-CAPS in their inbox this year. Don’t miss it: open.substack.com/pub/robertrodr…

Currently watching The Island starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson! Steve Jablonksy’s score sounds SO much like Transformers! It’s wild! EDIT: right as I posted, I saw it’s directed by Michael Bay!!! 😂

I’ve been working on a Stranger Things post for this month’s OdysseyNotes Pro!! I truly love this show and the music behind it. It’s a love letter to the history of the score and the composers who put it all together. 😍

If you want a little tease for my Stranger Things post coming up, I’m gonna absolutely gush over Rob Simonsen’s main title orchestral arrangement for season 4’s final scene!! Perk of being an OdysseyNotes Pro member!!

Less than 8 hours until this behemoth of an OdysseyNotes Pro post is released! Full post exclusive for paid subscribers. Preview available for free subscribers. As a composer obsessed with the score, I poured my heart into this 😍

Happy Stranger things day to everyone who celebrates! This show’s score is one that will always stick with me. The way it’s developed over the years has been incredible to hear! 🥹

Finally starting the new Stranger Things season and 2 things: 1. They used the Kids theme!!! It’s popped up every season but really evolved and grew over the years. I love it so much! 2. I can’t stop smiling. They all still got it 😍

Finally caught up on Stranger Things & I’m just blown away. It all felt like the last few episodes of a season & it’s literally just the first half! I’m not ready for this show to end. In a way I’m glad it’s been dropped over the next month even though I need to watch more now!

Nothing makes me more stressed and angry than dealing with sample library trouble shooting

I watch a LOT of YouTube 😅 So happy to see this kind of recap! Cant wait to keep watching in 2026 New Rockstars ScreenCrush The Breakroom Locked On Mets vidIQ

AND WE LOST PETE ALONSO?!?! THIS IS CRAZY! WHAT ARE THE METS DOING!!!?? Im so pissed…

I’m not even looking forward to Mets baseball anymore…

I can’t wait to hear what Ramin Djawadi does with the Supergirl score! He’s got a very different sound from Murphy and Fleming so it’ll be interesting for sure. Plus his work on GOT and HOTD is just incredible. And of course he gave us the first Iron Man score as well!

Nearly a decade later, the Doctor Who series 10 soundtrack by Murray Gold is finally available!!! His work on Doctor Who is some of my absolute favorite! Happy Friday!
