MTV’s Remote Control sat down with composer Dino Meneghin to talk about his job as the music composer of Teen Wolf and Season 3′s music;

You’ve played music for everyone from Josh Groban to Liz Phair. How did you wind up composing for “Teen Wolf”?
I had been working as a guitar player — touring and making records — and in 2007, I started doing some library music. I was recording pieces that would be licensed to different shows on MTV or VH1. In 2009, I ended up working on “Taking The Stage” as a music producer. Laura Webb was the music supervisor, and when she got the call to do “Teen Wolf,” I was on the road with Michael Bublé. She asked me to submit some stuff, and then, like, four months later, I got the call that Jeff Davis had liked my reel and wanted to talk to me. That was the end of 2010, and I started the show in January 2011.

How was working on “Taking The Stage” different from your “Teen Wolf” job?
For “Taking The Stage,” I would do everything from helping the kids write their songs to helping them record them. I was the musical Swiss Army Knife. What I enjoy about writing for “Teen Wolf” is that it covers a lot of ground — we can go everywhere from comedy to dark stuff, and I have to say, I like doing the dark stuff. Horror movies have some of the best music, and musicians love to do it. Nobody who’s completely healthy volunteers to do this for a living.

How do you prepare for the darker tones?
I sit in a room with black candles.

What is the process of putting the music to the show?
First, the editors will work with temporary music from past seasons while cutting an episode. And when they get close to a final cut, I’ll watch it online and make notes about timing and everything through the episode. And then we go home and start to work — we usually have a week to deliver between 30 and 35 minutes of music for an episode. As soon as we get stuff done, we upload it, the editors make notes and we’ll make those changes. Then, it goes in the show.
