Djawadi also expanded on how he approaches each cover, explaining the bare essentials of “piano reduction.”

the show’s filmmakers artificially increase the sequence’s tear-jerking levels by soundtracking it with a chamber-music version of the closing track on one of the most acclaimed albums of all time: “Motion Picture Soundtrack,” the achingly sad conclusion of Radiohead’s electronic-music breakthrough Kid A it is the show’s most egregious example yet of using a song with preexisting cultural clout to do its emotional work - a syndrome we’re seeing, or hearing, with increasing frequency as Peak TV prestige dramas attempt to cut through the clutter and grab viewers, or listeners, by the heartstrings.ĭjawadi told Pitchfork that showrunner Jonathan Nolan is a big fan of Radiohead, though, and that’s partially why so many of the band’s tracks are used. Collins wrote about Westworld’s reliance on these types of emotional songs for Vulture during the show’s first season, noting: People have called out the show’s use of multiple Radiohead songs to make a scene more dramatic, saying their inclusion can make the writing look lazy. There are a number of cover songs that have caught Westworld fans by surprise, like the Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” and Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun.” Not every cover is equally loved by fans, however. Djawadi’s take on the track isn’t as quickly recognizable as some of his earlier work on the show, including a popular cover of Kanye West’s “Runaway” off West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box” off the band’s In Utero album.
Westworld composer Ramin Djawadi reimagined Wu-Tang’s “C.R.E.A.M.” for the HBO series’ most recent episode. Cash rules everything around Westworld, so it’s only fitting that the Wu-Tang Clan’s iconic track of the same name received the Westworld treatment.
