Tom Hodge and Franz Kirmann have had a long standing collaborative relationship. As Piano Interrupted, they have released three albums, Landscapes of the Unfinished, Two by Four and The Unified Field on experimental German label, Denovali Records. More recently, together Tom and Franz composed the score for brand new eight-part BBC / AMC drama McMafia starring James Norton, the first episode of which aired on BBC One on New Year's Day 2018 in the UK, and 26th February on AMC in the US.  In this episode, the duo discusses how they came to write a more classic piece for the McMafia main titles after having written a number of demos that were more in line with their established pulsing, electronic sound. They share about how their discussions with the director James Watkins helped to shape their final composition and how, in the end, the actual main titles sequence of the series was edited to fit their piece.
