How Netflix’s ‘Orion and the Dark’ Composers Used Synth and Orchestra to Create a ‘Rich and Rewarding’ Experience | Exclusive

Robert Lydecker and Kevin Lax were selected from at least 10 different composing teams for the animated film

“Orion and the Dark” director Sean Charmatz knew he had found the right creatives to lead the music for his animated film for DreamWorks Animation after auditioning Robert Lydecker and Kevin Lax. 

In an exclusive behind-the-scenes video shared with TheWrap, the filmmaker, previously known for “Trolls Holiday in Harmony,” recalled auditioning composers and how the two Lydecker and Lax stood out.

“How we got the composers we did this blind test group where 10 to 15 composers did a test for us, and we didn’t know who any of them were. It was just ‘listen to the music’ and these guys got the job,” said Charmatz.
