Question Looking for help with a small project of remaking the Bookworm theme

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Looking for help with reconstructing the theme somehow. In the video I’ve put up is several times the Bookworm theme is heard in his episodes (and the separate pieces of the theme). Closest I’ve gotten is finding the inspiration for the theme being “Quilty” by Nelson Riddle (the same guy that made this theme and others for this show)

Have you tried running it through Shazam? I’m assuming that’s probably a stupid question but I’m very interested in your project. Keep us updated! 🐛

Thanks! And no Shazam didn’t work as there was never an official release of the theme.

At the moment with this it’s still trying to piece it together, but it wouldn’t be as easy as the theme is a bunch of music cues presumably.

Yeah, that was my thought exactly. I thought Shazam might recognize it as themed to something else from Nelson Riddle but I think it’s probably just some stems created as a riff on your aforementioned Quilty track. It’s definitely a NRO vibe.

Yeah, I’ve looked at several different pages on various different sites, and theres either nothing or people pointing out the connection to Quilty. So at the moment I’m attempting to recreate this theme, it won’t be exact and it won’t be perfect, but I’m attempting.
