I got a call, and then a meeting was arranged. Before our meeting, the first two episodes of the first season were sent to me for review. I watched the episodes and my jaw dropped; it was already clear then how great, and how complicated, the series would be.
After that, we met and talked about musical concepts. Read more : 'Game of Thrones' creators to make new 'Star Wars' series. Game of Thrones is an incredibly multifaceted TV series, with many different characters, storylines and unexpected plot twists.
How did you come up with a musical concept for the show? The producers asked me that very question right at the beginning. Because there are so many storylines and characters, it would have been too complicated to give everyone his or her own musical theme. That's why we decided to only write themes for individual plots and specific families. If a character from a particular family ends up moving into the foreground, then in some cases we've also developed an original theme for him or her.
We let ourselves be guided by the plot. I always use the character of Theon Greyjoy as an example. In the first season, when he didn't have much to do, he didn't have his own theme. But once he began to do his own thing in the second season and became more of an important figure, then we began developing a score for him.
In that way, we've continuously expanded the show's music. Game of Thrones is set in a mystical, imaginary world — and yet the music sounds quite modern, nothing like the folklore-heavy sound that dominates many other fantasy films. Did you make a conscious decision against that classic medieval sound?
Despite these thematic elements, and the medieval aspect of the series, we decided to tackle the music differently. Initially, I was told not to use any flutes, an instrument that's often featured in The Lord of the Rings, for example.
And so I had to think about which instruments I wanted to work with. The deep sound of a cello, for example, stands out quite prominently. Game of Thrones is mostly a very dark series, and so the cello fits very well into the soundtrack. In pieces like "Love in the Eyes" from the first season, you also included some ethnic instruments and sounds. Did you draw musical inspiration from your Iranian roots? And I think that was something that the show's producers found interesting.
They wanted a "global sound," I think. The fact that we are in this fantasy world with characters like Daenerys Targaryen and the Dothraki people with their ethnic traits allowed us to open the door to instruments like the taiko [Japanese drum] and the duduk, a wind instrument with a different sound from the flute. I collect many ethnic instruments, and as a guitarist I'm usually able to play any sort of instrument — as long as it has strings.
That's why I like to experiment with different sounds. Intrigue, sex and dragons in 'Game of Thrones' The northern warrior Jon Snow Kit Harington , the lord commander of the Night's Watch, was stabbed and left to die by his own team at the end of the fifth season — but he survived. In the fictional "Game of Thrones" world of Westeros, the Night's Watch defends the seven kingdoms against supernatural dangers that lurk beyond The Wall to the north.
The season 7 finale confirmed that Jon was born Aegon Targaryen. Sansa Stark Sophie Turner , long believed to be Jon Snow's half-sister, has already suffered quite a bit in her short life. Then, their marriage was dissolved and Sansa was married to another member of the ruling Lannister family. It's not easy being a princess in Westeros….
Arya Stark Maisie Williams is Sansa's little sister. After the death of their father, she fled the royal court and disguised herself as a boy. Since then, she's been wandering through Westeros with one thing in mind: revenge for her father's death. Meanwhile, she's fallen in with a sect and gone blind. Sometimes, "Games of Thrones" can seem like a soap opera with medieval costumes.
C ompared with the work of scoring even a long feature film, serialized television demands massive volumes of composition.
Consider: The eight Star Wars films that John Williams has overseen total more than 18 hours in running time. But the production process is far more elaborate. His Prison Break scores were made entirely on studio computers; for Thrones , with its cinematic ambitions, Djawadi writes the songs and then sends the notations to an orchestra in Prague.
Whereas a film has a clear beginning, middle, and end, a series unfolds over seasons and years, its direction not always clear even to its creators. On Thrones , George R. For the past three years, fans have flocked to see him in the touring Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience, an arena-scale pageant of fake snowfall, musicians in tunics, and the Iron Throne rotating onstage as if it were a potato in a microwave.
Djawadi conducts, plays instruments, and emcees at the extravaganzas.
