The video this brief is aboutEd Goldfarb reinvented the 'Gotta Catch 'Em All' theme for Netflix's Pokémon series. After a decade of composing for the franchise, he has his name on more episodes than any other musician, including Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Pokémon: Evolutions, and Pokémon Horizons: The Series. His brief was simple: 'Be sure it rocks'. So he added more guitars, brought in singer Ben Dixon and his friend guitarist Lyle Workman, known for playing with Sting and Pink Floyd.
