Momentum. Mischief. Heart.

A character-driven musical world built from found sound, groove, and personality.

The music for The Pigeon draws from a unique blend of street bucket drumming, found and “trashy” percussion, Chicago blues, and New Orleans jazz — blending these influences into a playful, rhythm-forward language that feels handmade, expressive, and alive. These sounds come together to create a score full of attitude and movement, perfectly matched to a character who is always plotting, pacing, and pushing forward.

Rather than traditional orchestral scoring, the music leans into groove as storytelling. Buckets, metal hits, shakers, upright bass, low winds, and jazz-adjacent harmony form a flexible palette that can sneak, strut, stumble, and sprint alongside the action. The result is music that enhances physical comedy and timing while staying light on its feet, leaving space for dialogue and visual humor to land cleanly.

At its core, this is music built around character. Rhythm drives intent, harmony adds color and warmth, and motifs evolve naturally as situations escalate or soften. The score shifts easily between mischievous confidence, comic chaos, and moments of unexpected heart — creating a musical identity that feels inseparable from the Pigeon himself.
