Apoplectic Skeptic

I love their use of distortion and guitar. Distortion in general is one of my biggest tools in the score for Breaking Bad, and obviously there’s a lot of guitar work. I usually use very spare guitar for Jesse, especially early on when he was more innocent. Up until last year, I used some aggressive synthesizers and processed guitars for Gus. And Walt’s evolved over the years from being very naïve and out of his depths to being much more confident. Whether he should be so confident is an open debate, but he is confident and so the music reflects that.
