MURDOCH MYSTERIES is a Canadian television drama series that premiered on CityTV on January 20, 2008, and airs on CBC in Canada as well as 120 countries around the world including Alibi in the UK.

The series is based on characters from the Detective Murdoch novels by Maureen Jennings and stars Yannick Bisson as the fictional William Murdoch, a police detective working in Toronto, Ontario in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The series also stars Hélène Joy, Thomas Craig and Johnny Harris.

The show has endured for so long—it is currently in its sixteenth season—that Robert Carli, the series music composer, has become one of its most valuable and enduring figures.

In December 2022, for Talking Soundtracks, Jason Drury talked to Robert Carli via Cleanfeed at his studio in Toronto, Canada, not far away from where Murdoch Mysteries is filmed. During the conversation, Carli's talked about his musical history and how his music has changed over the course of the series 16 years and counting. It's a fascinating insight into the work of a composer on a long-running television series.

During the show, you will also be hearing samples of Robert’s music from the series.

Enjoy!
