I was composer, music supervisor and music editor on the first season, for which I wrote the main title theme, ad-breakers and thematic underscore. I also contributed my library music.  Hugely enjoyable this one!

From the Network Ten site:

A remarkable and original new series, Todd Sampson’s Body Hack will see Todd become the guinea pig as he sets forth on a journey to discover how some of the most extraordinary people in the world live.

Whether he’s hunter-gathering in Tanzania, MMA Cage Fighting in New Mexico, training with the notorious French Foreign Legion, or working as a Himalayan Sherpa at extreme altitude, Todd uses science as a guide to deconstructing and decoding how these incredible people live, what they do differently from the rest of us, and how this impacts the human body.

“It’s an illuminating and at times punishing journey and Sampson is a thoughtful and engaging guide.”

”...makes the whole series so worthwhile” “With Body Hack we have a rip-roaring adventure that not everyone is going to approve of, but that certainly adds something valuable to our bank of knowledge about human potential.”
