The Pluribus score had to carry unease without carrying a ruling, while the picture stayed sunny. “One is very lyrical, and one is more percussive,” Porter told Immersive Media, describing two parts that lock together harmoniously in some bars and grind against each other in others. The Pluribus score separates that mass from individuals by size rather than by mood. Three of those 18 belong to Porter, for music composition, for the main title theme, and as one of six names on the sound mixing team. The Pluribus score never resolves that split, and neither, so far, has the show.
