00:00When I approached season two with the Rings of Power it felt very much like picking up
00:08right where we had left off.
00:10The focus of this season is Eregion and the relationship between Sauron and Celebrimbor.
00:19In many ways this was a chance for me to codify Sauron's theme because throughout season one
00:25Sauron's theme was always quoted contextually around the idea of Sauron, but now we're personifying that.
00:39When we were with Halbrand, you were hearing the Halbrand theme, which is actually the
00:45Sauron theme turned backwards.
00:47I thought, I wonder if some fans will figure it out, and I started getting tagged in things.
00:51Just a few.
00:52But I like to think that everybody else also subconsciously caught on to those similarities
00:57because that's the great thing about music, you don't have to analyze it, you feel it.
01:02I think all the crossroads converge as Galadriel faces Sauron.
01:08In many ways this was teed up by the first season and especially that season finale.
01:11We've been waiting for this fight and now I'm taking their two themes and really trying
01:19to let them clash.
01:30I love writing music for Middle-earth.
01:32I get to wake up every morning and write music that moves me, for stories that inspire me,
01:39and I look forward to where the story can go and I'm very excited.
01:49I love it.
