Irish composer AMIE DOHERTY’s (Sundance Composer and Time Warner Foundation Composer Fellow) credits span a wide range of genres in both film and television. Some of her recent scores include the short-film "Jurassic World: Battle at Big Rock," DreamWorks Animation’s short film Marooned; Emmy-nominated documentary Light In The Water. Amie's recent orchestration and conducting work includes Star Trek: Discovery, Lucy In The Sky, The Umbrella Academy, Fargo and FX's Legion, Starz's Counterpart, and Netflix's Altered Carbon. In June 2018, she had the pleasure to work with rapper 50 cent, conducting an orchestra, choir and band at the world famous Radio City Music Hall in New York City for a performance at the premiere of his hit show Power. The streaming series, UNDONE, is one of Doherty’s most recent scoring projects.

Undone is an American adult animated comedy-drama web television series created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg and Kate Purdy and starring Rosa Salazar. This half-hour, genre-bending, program explores the elastic nature of reality through its central character, Alma, a twenty-eight-year-old living in San Antonio, Texas. After getting into a car accident and nearly dying, Alma finds she has a new relationship to time. She develops this new ability in order to find out the truth about her father’s death. UNDONE premiered on September 13, 2019, on Amazon Prime Video, and is Amazon's first original animated series.

In this episode, Amie Doherty takes us through several key tracks from the original Amazon series. She reveals how she was not only inspired by the visual artistry of the show but how this affected her choices in scoring each episode. At the same time she details some of the themes she wrote and techniques she employed to convey the sci-fi, mystical, and intimate family aspects to the series.
