Trygge Toven on Redefining Music Supervision

In this episode, music supervisor Trygge Toven joins the conversation to explore the art and impact of soundtrack curation in film and television.

The discussion opens with a nostalgic look at how soundtrack compilations in the '80s and '90s introduced listeners to new artists, creating a collective narrative through music discovery.

Toven shares insights into the unique challenges and creative opportunities of pairing songs with on-screen moments, particularly the use of irony, such as earnest ballads set against dramatic or violent scenes in shows like Fallout.
