Creating the Score for The Last of Us | The Last of Us | Max

[@11chamil]

Gustavo's score is such a strong part of the identity of these games and the show. Warm, intimate, tragic, painful and, in rare moments, hopeful. Masters like him know how to say so much with very little. The first few notes of the main theme resonate in me the way Joel's pain resonates within him.

[@vimlendukumar3200]

Gustavo is already a legend.

[@gonzaloduarte8268]

Siempre lo fue

[@Major98]

Gustavo treated the 2013 game like the great piece of art it deserved. Bringing him for the show was a no-brainer

[@gpeddino]

A lot of the TLOU visual identity comes from Gustavo’s delicate soundtrack in contrast with the ruined landscapes. Beautiful stuff.

[@flundergarden]

Can we hope for Gustavo’s appearance in the second season of the last of us? It was really nice to see him for a second in the last of us part 2!!!

[@robsdianten1]

omg in what moment did he appear?

[@flundergarden]

@@robsdianten1 right at the beginning! when you’re following jesse! he sits near a dog which you can pet! bear copper peak inn! you can look up videos about his appearance on youtube!

[@steviecorpus7565]

@@flundergarden that reminded about this one Easter egg from God of War: Ragnörok, where there's a moment from the dwarves' village where we see the game's composer, Bear McCreary, as a dwarf playing some sort of instrument. And you get to interact with him

[@edoardoruini199]

Its fitting that they closed this special with the last moment of the show, witch is exactly the same and has that same score in both versions, because it really shows how important the music is in moments like that. That guitar intro that fills the space between those final lines between Joel and Ellie feels so heartbreaking to me. It elevates an already incredibile moment in a way that brings me to tears time and time again. Without, that scene would just feel incomplete.

[@apictureoffunction]

Getting Gustavo to score the game in 2013 was easily one of the most important and influential hires for how the final product would turn out. ND was very lucky he was interested in the project, and at the same time, it seems like TLOU game gave Gustavo a ton of artistic freedom to try whatever he wanted. It was definitely a mutually beneficial working relationship

[@botoncitosdegomita]

Without Gustavo's art The Last Of Us would not be The Last Of Us. The way in which each sound, each element is connected to what is happening in this apocalyptic world really makes you feel as if you were living it yourself, it makes you connect deeply with the emotions of the characters. That scene in which Ellie is with Joel and she asks him if everything that had happened with the fireflies in that hospital was true and Joel confidently answers that it was, and then you sees in Ellie's eyes how she loses the confidence she had she had until now with Joel, she knew that everything was a lie and she accepted it but what hurt her the most was seeing how Joel did not trust her in telling the true. Those sounds in that particular scene are spectacular, like in the whole game and in the series. Gustavo's work is magnificent and I am proud that this man is from my country Argentina, that he has used instruments and sounds from my country to do this wonderful work. Congratulations Naughty Dog you made the right choice. Can't wait to see more of TLOU!

[@MichelleStreisand]

I’m so glad they brought him on to score the show. The music is such a powerful and memorable element of the game. Having him score the show made it even clearer how iconic and intrinsic it is to this story. I hope other game adaptations will learn this too instead of how most of them replace soundtracks with something generic. I can’t help but feel a big element of these games are lost when the music is ignored.

[@denisruskin348]

Yeah, Gustavo has always been very solid. Babel, 21 grams or Brokeback Mountain, all pure quality. I was very happy seing him return for the show.

[@shweenz]

Gustavo please come to the US more! I'd love to see you live. Your music is amazing and has such heart. I'd love to feel the music in person!

[@kylenewcomer9697]

An absolute master of his craft.

[@caseyjl949]

What a Composer! He carries the game AND the show!!!

[@louisberry4403]

So glad Gustavo came back for the show. One of the best scores for a game.

[@gerud0link36]

This world should expand, whether series, games or movies, but of course with this wonderful music and this genius Composer ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@worldofpcgaming]

Love that music in the Game. What a Music composer. Really, he had done the best to connect music with emotions and story telling. And audience loved it.

[@donelectron_]

Gustavo is an open book of music 🙌🏾🇦🇷

[@Rayne2013]

We love you Gustavo and Neil!

TLOU is the perfect example of how a tremendous soundtrack can make a masterpiece be a masterpiece

[@angelespinoza9917]

It’s crazy because I know Gustavo added some new music and stuff but for the most part I noticed so many different scores from the game that was copied and pasted so awesome that it was so well done they didn’t need to edit it

Speaking of music, they should play “Happy Days Are Here Again” once they decide to put on their big boy pants and fire Zaslav.

[@RazorSe7en]

What kind of sorcery is this?

[@airtracker88]

Absolute shame that HBO didn't use an image of Gustavo as the thumbnail image. Complete disrespect to the man that created such beautiful music for this entire series. Do better HBO.

[@Owen01]

My guy… Gustavo is literally in the thumbnail lmao

[@airtracker88]

@@Owen01 Then that means they changed it when you clicked on the video, so good on them for the change. If you go to 1:40, this guy was on the thumbnail when I watched the video. Don't ridicule me for something you're not seeing.
