Josh LaCount sits down with award-winning composer, Tom Howe, to discuss his work on the beloved comedy series Ted Lasso.
Interview with Tom Howe
In this conversation, Tom Howe takes us through his journey into how he came to be a composer, his previous projects, and the incredible work he has done on the Apple TV+ series, Ted Lasso.
About Tom Howe
Tom Howe is an award-winning composer and multi-talented musician from the UK. His list of projects scored is extensive. Among them are over 80 Emmy and BAFTA-winning dramas and documentaries. Some of his most recent projects include award-winning projects like Ted Lasso and Aardman’s animated features Early Man and Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon. He has also written music for several major motion pictures, such as Fox’s Exodus: Gods and Kings, Warner Bros. Wonder Woman, and Legend Of Tarzan.
Tom is well versed when it comes to working on film and TV projects, but in addition to that, Tom has also written several international Top 40 hits as a songwriter. And that is what ultimately sets Tom aside from other composers. It’s the fact that Tom has a wide range of experience and ingenuity. He has tackled so much already. As a multi-instrumentalist, he has the ability to work on large-scale orchestral scores. Combine that with his history of writing pop and rock music and his use of modern production techniques, and it makes him a valuable asset on any project.
Ted Lasso
Ted Lasso stars Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso, a small-time college football coach from Kansas hired to coach a professional soccer team in England, despite having no experience coaching soccer. The show debuted in 2020 on Apple TV+ and has won over fans with its charm and its special brand of witty and heartwarming comedy. It’s based on a character Sudeikis played in ads for NBC Sports. Season 3 is currently in production and is set to premiere in late 2022.
