Rewind — Michael A. Levine on Crafting Iconic Sounds
On Rewind, Tony Zooms with Emmy‑nominated composer Michael A. Levine, a creator whose musical fingerprints are everywhere—from the instantly recognizable Kit Kat Bar jingle to the haunting, otherworldly soundscape of Freeform’s hit series Siren.
In this conversation, Levine pulls back the curtain on his creative process, revealing how he blends experimentation, emotional intuition, and a deep respect for sonic storytelling. One of the most fascinating insights: how he wove real whale vocalizations into the DNA of the Siren main theme, transforming natural marine communication into a musical language that feels both ancient and eerily new.
This episode also features musical cues throughout, giving listeners a rare chance to hear Levine’s ideas in context as he discusses them.
