Surely he must be a musical prodigy genius who spends his days buried beneath mountains of loose-leaf staff paper, permanently hunched over his piano, and rarely sees the light of day.
He must be pale and have glasses the mark of every nerd , he must smell a little and wear wrinkled khakis. Yeah, we were shocked, too. The year-old German-born composer, pictured above, is a total dreamboat. He is like, gaze into his sea green eyes and get lost in a fantasy dreamy. The "Main Title" can be qualified as soft and mystery-keeping at the same time. It seems deeply filled with moments transferred to sounds.
The composer states that the song is able to offer the series its distinctive way of being seen and approached and gives the series an identity. He told me that he knew someone who knew someone, and two weeks later I moved to Los Angeles and began working at Remote Control. Would you say that your future career, working on independent compositions in films like Iron Man and Clash of the Titans, can all be linked back to your collaboration with Zimmer?
Sure — he was a great mentor, and I owe him a lot. He taught me how things work during the production of major films, and how to approach meetings with directors. I also did some work with him for Batman Begins , even though I was already doing my own stuff by that point, just because I was such a major Batman fan.
And since you've been writing the music for Game of Thrones, one of the most successful TV series worldwide. How did you get involved with that? That was thanks to my agent. The show's producers were interested in me. 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.

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.
