TV and film composer Ramin Djawadi on making music

[@adil9772]

Damn, Game of Thrones, Westworld, Iron Man, Warcraft, Pacific Rim, Prison Break, Person of Interest. What a portfolio!

[@AriButOnYouTube]

Very nice!

[@high5gaming]

Warcraft, Red Dawn

[@Hexsmasher2099]

A Wrinkle in time, The Mountain between us, The Great Wall, Dracula Untold

[@Mike-hj7gg]

you had me at game of thrones..

[@RadioKonservativ]

The first time I saw him was years ago in a documentary about Hans Zimmer. Ramin was Zimmer´s employee at that time.

[@seskal8595]

Ramin Djawadi is the real prince that was promised. Coming to Earth followed by music of the gods!

[@Hexsmasher2099]

Infinity He is the demigod son of the God of music: Hans Zimmer

[@RadioKonservativ]

@@Hexsmasher2099 That´s actually true. He was once Zimmer's employee.

[@virgoqueen8950]

BEAUTIFULLY SAID

[@rubeng9649]

His "Light of the Seven" soundtrack is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard!

"Ramin Djawadi is now 42, but he was seduced by music early on." lol wtf this line

[@prasannakumar7181]

[@asadjang2]

Indeed we all love his music but the way he talks and expresses what he goes through his mind is absolutely remarkable. I would love to be that articulate. A real artist and a living langend.

[@reneiloe_m]

Ramin's best score is my far the Game of Thrones theme song

[@Anna133199]

Nah. There are many better songs in the Game of Thrones episodes, in my opinion. Songs such as Light of the Seven, Winds of Winter, and the Greyjoy theme.

[@ad-zx4iv]

Anna133199 and let's not forget the aaHHHHHHHHhhhhhs aka Dragonstone 😂

Gonna keep a lookout for his concerts now. So much talent in one man

[@madsokay]

The Person of Interest scores were fantastic! Definitely underrated.

Let's go!!!! That's my favorite Djawadi TV score

[@ahmedzone100]

I thought he is old ! he is really good looking

[@orjano5529]

His score for Prison Break is perhaps the best soundtrack I have ever heard

[@GregClarkMusic]

These people don't realise he's a Hans Zimmer protege either...

[@kryptonian1371]

Yup he's worked a lot with Hans

[@kryptonian1371]

Hans saw his talent early on

[@ArtOfWorkWebhostingDesign]

yeah, absolutely. Hans still did it and his soundtracks are as great as many others. There is always a little bit Hans in it *lol*

[@Schiggstaaa]

Oh yesss

[@DecafKauffee]

Unlike a lot of Zimmer’s other protégés he actually has a distinct style. So many others seem like little more than knock-offs of their teacher.

[@samhaupt6564]

This man is the TRUE heir of the Iron Throne

Well, he is Persian so you could say he’s the true heir of the Peacock Throne!

[@elenaspano5067]

I’m a senior in high school (I’m currently 18) and I’ve been playing the piano since I was ten, and the violin since I was 13. A year ago I started playing the guitar, too. In my country (Italy) there’s this “special” kind of high school you can attend: they call it “musical high school”. You have to audition to get in. I auditioned when I was 13 and I got in. It’s just a regular high school, really, but you learn about music theory, harmony, music production and history of music. And, most important thing, you study two instruments that you can choose (well, kinda... ): the first one is the one you auditioned with (it’s the piano for me) and the second one is assigned (violin for me). I’m about to dive into my last high school year and I know that this is what I want to do: film composition. I know about harmony, and music theory, and I play three instruments, and yet sometimes even I get the feeling that I’ll never make it. My question is: how do I make it? What do I study at university? I know that there is a master in “Composition for screen” but I need an undergraduate degree before doing that, and I have no idea what to get it in. I also want to attend university in a country that will give me more opportunities, job-wise. People think that if you want to peruse a music career, Italy is the best country but, trust me, when it comes to composition, it really isn’t. Ennio Morricone is the exception. Nobody makes it here. I’m so lost. I know what I want to do, but I have no idea where to start. If someone has any ideas or any piece of advice, I’m begging you to share. Thanks for reading.

[@ecnalreleam]

His Warcraft score is heavily underrated.

[@alessandrosaini9185]

One of the best scores ever written. Can't believe it's got no attention!

[@HolybasilYT]

It's because the warcraft theme is already set in stone by many fans, while Djawadi's version is certainly a good one, it's not what fans wanted to hear when they saw the movie.

[@jiricevela3822]

Yeah, pity that most of these people are so narrow-minded... What a masterpiece by Djawadi.

[@donsoliven7991]

i was listening to one of the GoT tracks (idk which one) and i could have sworn i heard his warcraft theme in there.

[@FreakieFan]

The Great Wall is also excellent (his music, not the horrid film)

Biography: Ramin Javadi is a composer of soundtracks for films and television. His father is Iranian and his mother is German. He studied music in the United States. After graduating, he began playing in a band in Boston, and later worked with Hans Zimmer.

MK Dons Ik I'm pretty sure that you are just an uneducated impolite person. You don't have any idea what the difference between the countries of the middle East is... Poor guy

[@kravez16]

Mehdi Hamedian Oh I understand the different let's see, there is a Zionist state that call themselves Saudi Arabia which do the bidding of Israel and USA in the middle east, then there are countries that try to resist the oppresion such as Yemen ( which is where the great fire that'll destroy the middle east will come from ). When it comes to Iran I don't know what their motives are when it comes to Israel because we all know at the end of the day they will join forces with the anti Christ. It's just a matter of time before all these things unravels

[@antoniovasquez9946]

“CBS’s Person of interest” and they didn’t even put a piece from that great show. Listening with a million ears...

Why are people still calling Dany Khaleesi? It translates to Wife of the Khal. It's a title, not a name. Calling her that is like calling Tyrion hand of the king. Smh, just learn what her name is.
