About the Composer(s)
Alex G (born Alexander Giannascoli on February 3, 1993) is an acclaimed American singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who rose to prominence through the DIY indie music scene. Originally building a passionate cult following by self-releasing lo-fi music on Bandcamp starting in 2010, his distinct indie rock and experimental sound led to his breakout label debut DSU (2014) and eventually caught the attention of Frank Ocean, who hired him to play guitar on his landmark albums Endless and Blonde. Giannascoli transitioned into film scoring through his collaborations with director Jane Schoenbrun, composing the haunting lo-fi original score for We're All Going to the World's Fair (2022). For the 2024 psychological horror-drama I Saw the TV Glow, Alex G returned as the composer, crafting a dreamlike, atmospheric instrumental score that underpins the movie's eerie and surreal nostalgic tone.

About the Movie
I Saw the TV Glow (2024) is a surreal and haunting psychological horror-drama film written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun. The story follows Owen (Justice Smith), a lonely and alienated teenager living in late-1990s suburbia. His mundane life changes when an older high school classmate, Maddy (Brigette Lundy-Paine), introduces him to 'The Pink Opaque,' a mysterious late-night television show about two girls fighting supernatural evil. As the teenagers bond over the VHS tapes of the show, their connection to it grows obsessively deep. However, when Maddy mysteriously disappears and the show is abruptly canceled, Owen's boundaries between reality, television, and his own identity begin to shatter under the eerie pale glow of the screen.
