When the fans were nervous to watch HBO air conditioning with a favorite video gameThere was a familiar presence immediately calm down their nerves: the sad guitar from Gustavo Santaolalla. As some story changed, the misleading faces that are loved by new actors, the beating heart were replaced Another of us The amazing result of stress-from the transition to sound TV.
“[Series creator] Nile Drukman said that my music is part of the DNA Another of us“Santolla says:” I think the fact that we kept the audio fabric – we did not achieve the degree of the orchestra for the series – had an effective role in keeping games enthusiasts in this series as well. “
Santolla, who was born and raised in Buenos Aires, was born in the launch of music when he was 17 years old. The love of both the English rock teams and the Argentine popular music in which he grew up, Santolla wandered in his unique voice, part of a type called Rock Nacional. Before he was able to fully make his fingerprints, the Santulala family escaped from the Argentine dictatorship in 1978, and moved to Los Angeles, where he quickly caught the attention of filmmakers. I picked up for the 2000 movie Amores perros And 2003 21 grams, Their success led to Santaolalla for the soundtrack for Mount Barkak and lusciousL, both of whom won the Academy Awards.
The secret of Santaolla Sonic? Embrace the eloquence of silence. “I work a lot with silence and space, because silence sometimes may be higher than noting that you are playing,” says Santolla. “I remember Mount Barkak When you first sent them music, the producer said, “I thought you were withdrawing my leg at the beginning, because you are waiting for a long time to play the following note!”
“Silence may be higher than noting that you are playing.”
After winning the Oscar Awards, Santolla was carefully considered his next professional step. Although he is a “terrible player”, Santolla tells me that he always loves to watch his son playing, and he is fascinated by the kinetic on the screen. “I always thought that if someone tied this on an emotional level with a player, it would be a revolution.”
It turned out that the universe has chosen the latest interest in Santola. After Oscar, many gaming companies approached him to do music, but he refused it because “I am difficult to satisfy the work I do.” This includes a profitable games project that is keen not to name it. “I think everyone was crazy!” chuckle. However, Santulala calmly hopes to achieve a more emotional project.
“So, I waited … then Nile appeared,” says Santlala. “When Neil told his colleagues that he wanted me to do this, [his colleagues ] He said, no, Gustavo will not be interested – he won the Academy Award! But when Nile [told me] The story, and that he wanted to do a game that connects to people on an emotional level … has been sold.
Even Neal Drogman was not ready for him, that Gustavo’s music will become the same importance as Elie and Joel. In the post -terrible world where life is scarce and the danger is connected at every corner, silence is suspended in the air like the threat. Santolala’s abstract notes, repulsive tunes and screaming slices are echoed through the city’s dilapidated streets, and she feels unexpected like the scientist Eli and Joel inhabits it.
“I love to use defects, and even errors or errors.”
“I love to use defects, and even errors or errors,” explains Santola. “Any professional guitar player tends when they score to avoid all kinds of noise; when you run your hand on the Prets plate or a defect in your game. But sometimes, I will pay those in my mix, and I think this is the human being. For this reason, many people said that my music becomes like a person – this is why I am playing things myself.”
in The second gameGustavo’s music becomes a material part of imagination, with Elie carries the guitar throughout her endeavor for revenge. It comes out of the tool during the welcome moments from the time of stopping, and it offers a famous rest period. Like Gustavo points, these beautiful short articles are disintegrated, silent, Who holds in the second season of the show.
“I love the TV series too,” says Santolla. “For this offer, Neil himself was associated with another incredible talent, Craig Mazin – the man who did Chernobil – Who knows these media and that language. I think it was a big and big challenge, because when you move from the media to another, people say no, I love the best origin! So, I think, again, that the way we used music was effective to keep this fan base. “
“I think that when the story is really great, like the theatrical piece – like Shakespeare – it does not matter who plays the character. It is clear that Joel Pedro Pascal is different from Joel from the game, but the essence of the character is still there to be only these things are distinctive. Writing.”
Now, while Santolla finds himself launching his own – The Guitarocko – it looks like the culmination of the musical journey he started in adolescence. Gustavo, the traditional Bolivian 10 Ronrooko series with the shape factor to trial the barrier, mixes the father similar to his music creation: the 73 -year -old is activated with what Another of us He gave him at this stage in his career.
He says: “God has bestowed on the fact that I have been associated with an audience since I was very young.” “But the way I communicate with lovers Another of us And the way they communicate with music … here is a really beautiful special dedication. I have this wonderful new audience, and I love they did not know me as an artist or a movie composer! Now they are looking for my music, and discover these things. It was a gift for me, at this stage – after all I went through – to participate in a project like this. “
