Music Publisher Quayle Mac Has Contributed

As a longtime go-to composer for Ryan Murphy, Mac has contributed his talents to television triumphs, such as American Horror Story, FEUD: Bette Joan, American Crime Story, and Scream Queens.

His immaculate score for Mr.

Robot garnered a win at the 2016 EMMYs.

He is a Grammy nominee and has numerous Gold and Platinum records to his credit from his work as a producer and dance re-mixer for the likes of Beyonc, Sting, Madonna, Janet Jackson, and countless others.

In anticipation of Macs live concert performing the music of Mr.

Robot at The Roxy, we retraced his steps from New York City musician to his artistic life here and now.

I was living in New York, working as a keyboard player, producer, and a dance remixer.

I did that for a number of years until the early 2000s when the music business was really starting to shift.

I got my first real job in 2006 as an additional composer on the show Cold Case, working with Michael Levine.

Can you tell us more about the dynamics of your working relationship with Cliff Martinez, esteemed composer behind blockbusters like Drive, The Lincoln Lawyer, and Spring Breakers Well, its basically Cliffs project.

One cue might be something like he would write a theme and do a little sketch of it.

I would take that sketch and flesh out the arrangement, developing it further and then sending it back to him.

He would give me notes and I would change it until we got it to a place where he was happy.

The first one was in 2013 when I got accepted into the Sundance Composers Lab.

That was just an incredible educational experience and I met some great people.

Something after that just shifted for me, and a lot started to happen.

Right after that, I started to do all these indie films.

There was a lot of activity.

Then, of course, the big shift after that was in the fall of 2014, when I got the call about American Horror Story.

That has brought me up till now, which has been quite a ride.

Your work on American Horror Story is haunting and frankly, stunning.

How did you originally land the gig It was through a film that I worked on with Cliff.

It was a film that Ryan Murphy directed called The Normal Heart.

Six months later, one of the producers thought of me, gave me a call, and said, Hey, would you be willing to write a cue this afternoon Were going in a different direction with American Horror Story.

The rest of the score in Cult has been influenced by an organic sound.
