Key Drivers
Theme music is the audio played at the outset of any given show. It differs from typical production music, because a theme song plays consistently and more often than a background/transition music. There are many variations of the theme songs in this collection. This catalog also features cues or more traditional production music in the In Touch franchise as well.
