The Head Composer Juan Cortés Arango on His Unique Instruments to Build to Finale
Bleeding Cool : As far as the revulsion genre go , are there any fussy instrument that work on better to try out on and refine ?
I do n’t have it on me , but I had this musical instrument called an Azzam Melville Bell , which is like a piddle phone , just a bunch of pieces of metal tied together , and you bow it from different position . We have all the instrument from Veronica , who had this . I do n’t recall the name of the instrument , but it was like basically it has a certain size of it , but this was much bigger and made of plastic . Sound exploration is huge , and well-grounded geographic expedition of something that is not come-at-able digitally is important because , at some point , there ’s this insecurity of sounding like everyone else because everyone has access to the same software .
There ’s beaut in the imperfections of capturing someone who respire and then stops or your bowknot go other than . My basic tool was the Azzam bells , imagine a drumfish stage set that is broken . That ’s what it face like . My cello is right there with different bow , and then I know these woodwinds . We record the orchestra like it ’s not an orchestra but a 1620 - piece string subdivision . For the first season , we had mostly a heavy cello section , so it was even like small instrumentalist ; it was mostly cellist , but [ Federico ] was also judge unlike people of color and treat constitutional strait of synthesizers to get Modern audio out of them .
What was your most challenging scene to hit ?
The most challenging thing to hit ? Well , I ’d be give away the show .
If you require to be any more general in the end ?
The last sequence was challenging . I ca n’t go into specifics , but when it all ties together , there ’s the comeback . There ’s a reprise of the main themes we establish in season one because a character comes back and connect everything together . That was unexpected for me , so I was run on this show , and I had an musical theme where this was going . When I watch it , I commemorate think , " This intact time of year is darker compared to the previous two season , this one is in particular more graphical in certain prospect , and more strong-arm . "
The location is also a lot more physical because before , it was like a ship , and then before season one in Antarctica . This [ third time of year ] is in the desert in this giant Russian building complex . Everything , blueprint - wise , feels more physical because there are more reverberations and more metals . Action - wise , the interest feel much higher because it ’s the last time of year . We had all that energy and then we have this present moment we ’re coming back to this character ’s electric discharge and how it ends , and it was very excited . It was challenging when you have all this free energy and stick to bring down in the process .
What ’s next for you ?
I ’m working on another show with Federico [ Jusid ] , I trust I can herald it soon . I am working on an exciting documentary with my wife , who ’s lead . I also recently scored this light documentary for the Olympics about these two American athletes who were award amber ten year after they were cleared for allegations of drug use .
