Greendragon was fortunate to be invited to attend a recording session for the <em>Rings of Power<\/em> soundtrack in London last April; it was an incredible experience, watching skilled musicians bring McCreary&#8217;s score to life. So she was thrilled to have the chance to catch up with the composer, and see how he&#8217;s feeling about Season One &#8211; and what might be in store for Season Two of <em>The Rings of Power<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McCreary is a huge Tolkien fan himself, and he shared how Peter Jackson&#8217;s movies &#8211; and in particular, Howard Shore&#8217;s score &#8211; were important influences in his growth to become the composer he is today. He discussed the luxury of time which Amazon&#8217;s big budgets provide, and the importance of music to enhance and communicate emotion and drama. He also revealed that he has already started work for Season Two! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the full interview below; and check out <a href=\"https:\/\/bearmccreary.com\/bears-blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"McCreary's own blog, here\">McCreary&#8217;s own blog, here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player lazyload\" width=\"1170\" height=\"659\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6zdXnSX-yck?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this week, TORn staffer greendragon had the chance to sit down with composer Bear McCreary.
