“ABC News Live” 2020 – 2025 Theme

Share

ABC News Live, the 24/7 streaming news service launched in 2018, enlisted composer Matthew Kajcienski to create its theme music. In terms of creative direction, ABC requested a sound that was forward-thinking, felt grand and significant, and avoided traditional instrumentation. Kajcienski explains his approach: “I chose to build the theme’s foundation around sound design, incorporating sustained, shifting colors, sweeping textures, and musical hooks that captured attention. I also created a distinctive mnemonic for ABC News Live to set it apart from the main ABC News network.” Notably, the session file for the theme was exceptionally large, consisting of over 120 unique electronic sound layers—each contributing to the rich and varied color palette that defines the theme.
