Brad is the lead singer of the band Oberhofer. If you didn’t catch them a few years ago crooning in the desert winds at Coachella, surely you’ve heard their pop/surf rock rhythms soundtracked in shows like _Gossip Girl_, _Teen Wolf_, and _BoJack Horseman_. On top of the band’s success, Oberhofer, the man, composed the T.V. show _Alone Together_ (2018) and recorded a soundtrack for the film _Table 19_ (2017).

**Your band Oberhofer has had so many songs featured on T.V. shows, commercials, and in film. Why do you think the band’s sound has paired so well as a soundtrack to the screen?**
I have a terrible short term memory. Usually I can only finish working on a song if its melody makes its way thoroughly into my subconscious and is stuck in my head until I finish it. That may explain its commercial usage, maybe it gets stuck in other people’s heads too.
**What is your favorite aspect of composing scores for film and television? What’s the most difficult part?
**Music directly manipulates the emotional subconscious, I would argue more overtly than most other artistic mediums. Composers take on a lot of moral responsibility; you could manipulate someone into loving a terrible mind-numbing medication through well-strategized background music, or you could motivate someone to fight for better education, or to advocate for something you find to be morally just. This is both my favorite aspect and the most difficult aspect of composing for film, TV, and commercials. Your morals as an individual directly affect the stance the music in your score takes, whether it be in support of a protagonist or to empathize with a villain. I take this responsibility seriously.
**Which scene did you most enjoy scoring for _Alone Together_? And recording for _Table 19_?
**In _Alone Together_, there’s a hilarious scene in which Ester asks to drive Dean’s car, he responds with “Do you know how to drive a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission?” and they race to find Benji. It was fun to see such macho music placed to such a funny scene.
In _Table 19_, my favorite scene to work on was the ending, where I covered “Melt With You” while Craig Robinson, Lisa Kudrow, Stephen Merchant, Anna Kendrick, Wyatt Russell, and Tony Revolori were all dancing together after the wedding. The whole cast was incredible to be around.
