It's been a lot of fun staying in touch with everybody and working on the music and all that, so it was great. And I always joke, whenever we finish the season, I always say I'm falling to the pressure because I always think I can't wait for this next season to come back, so this actually really helped me bridge that gap. I love David and Dan, all the producers, HBO, they're fantastic to work with. McIntyre: And you're not tired of it yet?ĭjawadi: Never, no. McIntyre: So this tour has now significantly increased your time investment in the Game of Thrones franchise?ĭjawadi: Oh absolutely, because when I finished season six, normally I'm off and I don't do any work on Game of Thrones until the new season starts up, and it's usually a couple of months before it comes back on the air, The rest of the year I don't work on the show, but with this tour now, during the fall when they were shooting season seven, I've been in full production on this tour so I've had Game of Thrones all year round. But altogether it's about three to four months, I would say. I kinda jump around a bit, so it's hard to narrow it down per episode, also because some episodes have more music than others. I get multiple episodes at a time, and then I have a couple of weeks for each, and I work on them at the same time. McIntyre: How long does it take you to create the music for every episode in every season?ĭjawadi: Altogether I want to say about three to four months, I think. I did another project, but it moved forward from there, and then once we really got going, just by the time we really had something running altogether, it was three years. Not all of that was constantly working on the tour, but it's like I mentioned, it started with a little idea months ago, and it was brought up again after a few weeks and we talked about it. How long did it take from, "Hey, we should do a concert" to actually launching it?ĭjawadi: It was about three years, and that’s a long time. McIntyre: You just mentioned it took months and months. The show is so special, so we just wanted to give the fans a very special experience. We decided to create something unique, something special. We were in the studio doing one of my music playbacks with David and Dan, and they said, "You know what, We want to hear this music live, you should put on a concert." So it started with a little idea of putting on one concert and then I said, "You know what, why don't we try to do something different and something new and something that's never been done before." And then just by brainstorming over months and months, it turned into what it is now. So how did the idea of a Game of Thrones orchestral concert tour come up?ĭjawadi: It happened just in the studio, I guess, and during small talk. The idea makes sense when you think about it, but it's not the first brand extension I would have thought of. McIntyre: I have to say, I was surprised when this tour was announced.
