Deadliest Catch Promo - Who Wrote the Theme Music?
Well, the Deadliest Catch Season 5 promo video has garnered a lot of attention and response here at Deadliest-Catch.com, but not quite in the way I’d imagined! Instead of discussing the people and scenes depicted in the promo, it seems everyone’s DYING to know who wrote the violin music that’s playing in the background. I’ll admit, it’s a good tune - emotional and vibrant, with those celtic overtones that we often hear in this show.
Search no more! Thanks to one of our readers who posted a link to the Musikvergnuegen web site, where they proudly proclaim:
Discovery Channel recently tapped Musikvergnuegen to score a promo for their hit show “Deadliest Catch.” Our own John Luker composed the music, employing rustic violins and electric guitars to capture the drama of these Alaskan fishermen’s tribulations.
Whether or not the music will ever become available on CD or MP3 download is yet to be determined - but if the number of inquiries we’ve received is anything to go by, someone could certainly make a pretty profit by doing so! (Though it’s more than likely this 30 second promo song is just that, a promo song, and not part of a full-length, traditional piece of music).
Interestingly enough this company seems to have produced a lot of well known music and audio logos… most notably perhaps being Intel’s trademark “DING - ding ding ding ding!”

I don’t care if it’s only 30 seconds. I want it. It’s worth .99¢, easy. Make it happen. I don’t care how. =)

I love this piece! I’d totally buy the song if it was available. And if it could be extended that would be so awesome! Is there anywhere else I can get it other than just listening to the commercial?
