Welcome to Everything But the Music, a podcast where UCLA undergraduates talk about all things musicking, from contemporary opera to protest anthems to the sounds of other animals. Today, we’re discussing the soundscapes of Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal (2013-2015), which employs near-constant musique concrète to invite the audience into the show’s psychological turbulence. We use Hannibal to examine queerness in horror, sonic depictions of disorientation and insanity, innovative trends in contemporary horror, and what exactly horror music allows us to feel and understand beyond the jump scares.
