In 1999, the British network Channel 4 debuted a radical new show about the lives of gay men living in Manchester. Full of nudity, sex, drugs and hedonism, the show took a frank look at gay culture and took on taboo subjects. A year later, Showtime debuted the US version of Queer as Folk, which ran for five seasons and changed the game for American television's representation of LGBT culture. Set in Pittsburgh, the US series started off as a literal remake of the British version, but quickly found a voice of its own and eventually outlast the original's run. Now, there's a new “Queer as Folk” reboot . It reflects a much more diverse LGBTQ representation in terms of race and gender identity, and is based in the vibrant city of New Orleans. The show premiered on Peacock on June 9th, and follows the cast of characters as their lives intersect within queer friendships, family, love, tragedy, and everyday struggles. For the series, showrunner Stephen Dunn expressed his love for unique found sounds, and so for the relaunch of “Queer as Folk,” composer Jasha Klebe took inspiration from sounds around him to score the show and create specific character themes. We spoke to Jasha about working on the show and composing his music.

Jasha Klebe is a film and TV composer, former professional gymnast, and a childhood opera singer. Some of his highlights include The 84th Annual Academy Awards, Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom, Diana: In Her Own Words, and BBC's Planet Earth II which he co-composed with Jacob Shea, and has worked closely with one of my personal favorite composers of all time, Hans Zimmer. Jasha invited me to his home studio in West Hollywood and we chatted about collaboration, what it feels like to leave home with a mission, parallels between sport and art, how being in love with music makes him a little bit crazy, and the motivation of creation. He was also kind enough to give me a bottle of wine which was absolutely delectable. And of course I asked him Five Questions. Meet Jasha.
Jacob Shea and Jasha Klebe are two composers who have produced exemplary work early on in their careers. Both Jacob and Jasha got their starts working with some of the most notable composers working today including Steve Jablonsky, Lorne Balfe and of course Hans Zimmer. The two of them found themselves working together when BBC Earth came knocking on the doors of Bleeding Fingers Music with their new show Planet Earth II. Hear Jacob and Jasha share their backgrounds and paths to film composing, and hear them discuss their approach to scoring Planet Earth II. They talk about the Bleeding Fingers Music model and how it has become a new platform for composers to become attached to some amazing projects. Go in-depth into how they split scoring duties on Planet Earth II, and the approach they took to scoring a massive TV nature documentary series. Jacob Shea and Jasha Klebe have already carved their own paths as musical storytellers early in their career, and Planet Earth II further demonstrates their talents. This interview shines a light on two emerging talents who without a doubt have many more stories to tell.
