Mauro Basilio’s prepared cello in the original soundtrack of the TV show by Peacock. Musics composed by Leopold Ross and Nick Chuba.

Note Ross and Chuba: “In creating the score for Devil In Disguise our starting and ending place was the cello. We worked with two cellists named Hillary Smith and Mauro Basilio to achieve a sound that both highlights the tragedy of the victim’s perspective and the horror of the crimes committed. Hillary’s lyrical playing was a perfect fit for the victims’ families and Mauro’s “prepared cello” captured the brutality of John Wayne Gacy’s crimes. We used everything from motors plucking the strings to a plastic cup wedged in between the body and bridge of Mauro’s cello. Combining electronic processing with a live string section we were able to place these two amazing cellists front and center in our score.”
