A bit of Robots In Disguise news (version 2.0) to start off your week. Over the weekend we’ve learned that Kevin Manthei will co-score the new RID cartoon. Manthei is most known for work on Nickelodeon’s Invader Zim as well as his work on Justice League: The New Frontier, Batman: Gotham Knight, TRON: Evolution (VG) and Star Trek Online (VG). From his Tumblr:
The secret project I announced earlier can be shared. I am co-scoring the upcoming animated series Transformers: Robots in Disguise. I am excited to be co- scoring the show with renown composer Kevin Kiner (CSI Miami, Hell on Wheels, Clone Wars)Discuss the news with the discussion link below.

Invader Zim music was amazing. I compare his work to BattleStar Galactica's music by Bear McCreary. So much variety in theme and sound. Very evocative.
… Wait. I was sad that it was going to be wasted on a bad show, but I'm seeing no mention of Orci and Kurtzman on the wiki page. Do I actually have to give it a chance now?

That's good news

If it's anything like his work on Invader Zim, I'll be happy. Hopefully it'll be more memorable than Brian Tyler's score.

CSI Miami? Bumblebee or Sideswipe better have some shades on with the Cybertronian sunset.

Woo-hoo! He did great on Invader Zim and Xiaolin Shodown. I'd buy that soundtrack, sure.
