Ramin Djawadi discusses working on Game of Thrones as Live Concert Experience starts second run

Game of Thrones has been a beautiful ride for all of us, and it has been so because of how well it comes together. The music on the show has been an integral part of its success, which is why the composer, Ramin Djawadi, has his own tour, complete with a full blown orchestra. The Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience recently kicked off its second run this week, at Madrid. In a recent interview, Ramin spoke about working on Game of Thrones. Read on!

Djawadi had a sit-down with The Observer about the Live Concert Experience and Game of Thrones. First off, he talked about what the fans can expect from the second run:

“We’re very excited about it. We’ve worked on it for a long time, several years, and we did a U.S. tour last year that was very well received, and now we’re very excited to take it to Europe and then again another U.S. tour later this year as well. It’s very exciting and I was actually able to change up the show a little bit now that the first tour was only season one through six available to us.”

Djawadi also composes the music for Westworld, HBO’s next big thing. Pointing out the differences between the two styles of composition, Ramin said:

“In Game of Thrones, piano is non-existent except that one piece in season six, whereas in Westworld, the player piano is a key element of the show. So right there, the basis of it all, is already very different and of course synthesizers, there’s very few in Game of Thrones even though I do use some of them. They’re not as prominent as in Westworld so the basis of it all is just being able to go into completely different directions.”

The Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience is currently ongoing in Europe and will move to the U.S. soon. You can get your tickets here. Planning on attending? Let us know in the comments, down below!
