PR: Suits (Christopher Tyng)

LAKESHORE RECORDS PRESENTS
SUITS – ORIGINAL SERIES SOUNDTRACK

Featuring Original Music by Christopher Tyng
With the Main Title Theme “Greenback Boogie” Performed By Ima Robot.

(November 30, 2015– Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release the soundtrack for SUITS featuring original music by composer Christopher Tyng and “Greenback Boogie” performed by Ima Robot. The album will be available digitally on December 11th and on CD February 12, 2016.

Produced by Universal Cable Productions, SUITS is set at a fast-paced Manhattan corporate law firm and stars Gabriel Macht (“Love & Other Drugs”) as Harvey Specter, Patrick J. Adams (“Orphan Black”) as Mike Ross, Rick Hoffman (“Samantha Who”) as Louis Litt, Gina Torres (“Firefly”) as Jessica Pearson, Sarah Rafferty (“Brothers & Sisters”) as Donna Paulsen and Meghan Markle (“Fringe”) as Rachel Zane.

SUITS was created by and is executive produced by Aaron Korsh (“The Deep End”). Doug Liman (The “Bourne” trilogy), David Bartis (“Covert Affairs”) and Gene Klein (“Covert Affairs”) of Hypnotic along with Anton Cropper (“Fairly Legal”), Daniel Arkin (“90210”) and Chris Downey (“King & Maxwell”) serve as executive producers. SUITS is shot on location in Toronto. Season five of SUITS resumes on January 27, 2016 at 10/9c on USA Network.

One of the most successful and recognized themes from the show is “Hardman Returns,” a piece Tyng created for the original return of Daniel Hardman, played by David Costabile (“Breaking Bad”) in the second season.

“It’s what I like to call ‘shark in the water’ music; there’s a lurking, ticking-time-bomb feeling to that piece that we’ve used quite a bit throughout the series,” Tyng said. “It’s a fan favorite, so it’s great to include it in this compilation.”

Tyng added that Mike Ross is always at risk of his past catching up with him and, as a result, there’s almost always something unsettling or haunting lurking in the background of the musical score.

“I’ll process various instruments into abstract sound design elements and ambiences that bring a sense of dark nostalgia - a musical subtext that reinforces to the audience that Mike’s secret past is never more than a few steps away from his present reality,” Tyng described.
