Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!

Police procedural is a screen-driven genre whose stories follow the investigative work of law enforcement and/or forensics teams in their attempts to solve a crime and/or have criminals arrested. As a musical style associated with these films and series, it blends noir-influenced jazz, propulsive funk and rock rhythms, and later electronic/synth textures with suspenseful orchestral writing. The resulting sound world supports surveillance, interrogation, pursuit, and revelation: terse motifs for clues, anxious ostinatos for tailing suspects, stingers for jump-cuts, and cathartic cadences when cases close.
