The current season of MTV2’s hit show Guy Code features work from all three divisions of Flavorlab in NYC. The team provided mix, original scoring, and music licensing for the series. Running on all cylinders, the team strove to enhance the real-life stories and situations on the show.
Kicking off each episode is the main theme, composed by Flavorlab’s Brian Quill. The track features his vocals and pays homage to the chanting of monks. Depicting the age old code of men in music wasn’t Brian’s only contribution. We can also hear his creative mark in the mix. “The sound choices and timing of the sounds play off the graphics as well as the content of what the comedians are saying,” explains Quill. “We always try to focus on matching the graphics, but sometimes we do go outside the lines a bit.”
Working outside the lines is how the Flavorlab Sound team has found a collaborative workflow with executive producer, Ryan Ling. “As a mix and sound design team we try to take risks and push the limits. We really rely on him and the other producers to let us know where those limits are.
“Comedy is a delicate art. It’s a balance of content and timing that is always a fun challenge.”
