Interview with Roshan Singh Sambhi (DC High Volume: Batman and Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow)

see we had a bunch uh i i'm gonna pull up my playlist uh really quickly um because we built a spotify playlist um uh some of the stuff that went into it um For that opening section, we were looking at a bunch of Jed Krizal stuff.

We were looking at Game of Thrones.

We were looking at epic fantasy strings.

Sam Ewing worked quite heavily on those early episodes, the first two.

And he came from God of War Ragnarok and The Walking Dead.

So he's got a little bit of that country and a little bit of that kind of epic fantasy in him.

So I think we were pulling from...

Um, oh yeah, Dark Souls is on here too.

Um, uh, Motoi Sakuraba's work there.

Um, Carter Burwell, uh, Darren Korb quite heavily as well.

Um, from the Hades and, uh, Bastion team.

Yeah.

I would say like generally with music, um, we wanted to honor the fact that every planet, every chapter feels like a different genre.

So, um, this is something that Darren Korb does really, really well.

Um, He's incredibly good at mixing and fusion and building and honoring motifs, which are kept consistent and developed.

And I think that's that main thing is we focus very, very heavily on character, on not being didactic.

We don't score to how we want the audience to feel.

We score... to having motifs that mean very specific things modulate in the background, you know? And that is sometimes a parallel if not even like a contrasting story to what is being told by the dialogue.

And I think that that's kind of that space that we try to stay in is having music, which is, Toby Fox as well, like obviously is really great at that.

Everything I just described.

And we would often talk about like, I guess the more I speak, the more I'd say like game music had a really big part.

And the last thing I'd say for music is Alex Cote.

And I looked a lot at Cloud Atlas for Krypton, We were looking for soundtracks that gave a sense of like yawning history and legacy and music that makes you feel the weight of time.

And the suite of composers who worked on Cloud Atlas, I think to this day, that's one of my favorite movies that people don't like.

I think the score to that is like maybe the best out there.
