EMILY RICE is a British born composer for film and TV, who started her musical life as a cellist playing in orchestras and rock bands. Rice has previously served as assistant to several elite film composers including Brian Tyler, James Newton Howard and Laura Karpman, and was a writing assistant to Junkie XL. Her music can be heard in Hollywood blockbusters such as Tomb Raider and Alita: Battle Angel, and she has garnered several orchestration credits including The Mummy, Altered Carbon and Star Trek: Discovery. Rice recently completed scoring her first TV show, for the Netflix series The I-Land, which will be was released September 12, 2019.

The I-Land is an American science fiction thriller web television miniseries created by Anthony Salter. The series stars Kate Bosworth and in the show, ten people wake up on the beach of what appears to be a deserted tropical island. None of them have any memory of who they are or how they got there, and each takes on the name that is printed on their clothes tags. They set off on a trek to try to get back home, only to discover the world is not as it seems.

In this episode, Emily Rice talks about having her score for The I-Land walk a delicate balance somewhere between music and sound design. She reveals how she crafted her score to touch on the various elements of the series: the humans, the mysterious, and the sci-fi. Rice also reveals how an old song from "Bonnie & Clyde" becomes one of the many heavily processed sources in her original work.
