Go down from the boat and turn around if you haven’t watched the first two episodes of season 3 of “The White Lotus” – Light spoilers Lie!

When season 3 of “The White Lotus” was created on February 16, fans probably noticed that the theme song was … Really different. The same composer, Cristobal Tapia de Veer, worked on the three seasons of the Mike White’s juicy HBO anthology series, but he changed the theme of each episode. Season 1, taking place in Hawai’i, presented a theme entitled (appropriately) “Aloha!” Season 2, which took place on the Italian island of Sicily, obtained its own air, “Renaissance” – Who was quite universally adored by fans – and now we have “Clarification,” The theme of season 3 that corresponds The new Tidement parameter, Thailand. So what was his inspiration for “enlightenment?” Tiktok and Cat rings.

According to an article from VarietyTapia de Veer was influenced by certain improbable sources for the third season of the show. “I sometimes hear interesting things in Tiktok or Youtube,” said Tapia de Veer at the exit. “I think that the best song I have heard in recent years that I remember, is that people harmonize with a cat on Tiktok. There is a cat, and someone put piano, then girls started to harmonize, and then there are all these versions harmonizing this cat, it is super moving and so spontaneous and fresh that it attracts my cat super produced.”

Basically, the point of view of Tapia de Veer on the whole is that he is rarely surprised by pop music, but people harmonizing with cats on Tiktok felt new for him. “I am a fan of pop music, but I have the impression that it’s been a while that I have the impression that something surprised me,” said the composer. “So I looked a lot in these eight seconds of music than people [are] Assemble and harmonize a stupid and silly cat or things. For me, it’s like a gold mine, it’s just going to me. I feel like I am in contact with a person. “”

You might be surprised to learn that Cristobal Tapia de Veer, who also worked on projects like “Babygirl” and “Black Mirror: The Black Museum”, “in fact, did not like” Renaissance “when he launched it for season 2 of” The White Lotus “- and he thought he had failed the lookout. The song uses the same Yodeling EDM rhythms as it progresses – and it is a total banger – But Tapia de Veer was not sure at the start. “What is happening often is that we are starting to perfect things in the studio … And in general, things become complicated and too created and you are starting to strangle life,” said Tapia de Veer. “I think there is an energy that people [liked about ‘Renaissance’] And that has nothing to do with the perfection or the skills you have in the studio. It’s just a very spontaneous thing, enter a moment, and once he is there, do not touch it, let him breathe. “”

Once he realized that the team behind “The White Lotus” Aim “Renaissance”, Tapia de Veer felt encouraged – and in this variety interview, he talked about the process behind the song. Using this same Yodeling, Tapia de Veer recalled that he wanted the scale to grow, and the song has become something incredible.

“After the voices, I felt like I was getting bigger. I am a big fan of the path [Paolo] Sorrentino uses dance music and then goes to very beautiful classical music. All the elements slowly start to turn into an electronic thing. I really stumbled, when I started to make this beat. It was really like being in a club and celebrating tons of people. When the kick enters and suddenly we are in a club, it was natural that these voices were so powerful, that each bar had the impression of being able to set up a stage, then another step. The next step, I felt like I had a kind of energy peak, then you make the next bar, you could always reach another, then another, so it continues. “”

Even if “Illumination” may not be as worthy of dance as “Renaissance”, it’s always really fun – and that perfectly matches the third season of “The White Lotus”. As usual, the season is filled with rich and horrible people who behave badly, including the Ratliff family of Caroline du Nord, composed of the patriarch and the businessman in difficulty Timothy (Jason Isaacs), Lorazepam-Popping Victoria (Parker Posey) and their saxon children (Patrick Schwarzegger), Piper (Sarah Catherine) and SAMBLAN (Samblan (Samclan), by Sara Nivola).

There is also Rick (Walton Goggins) and Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood), a couple with a huge The age difference whose energies do not correspond either (Chelsea is as sparkling and positive as Rick is misanthropic and grumpy). Belinda, the director of the Natasha Rothwell spa of season 1, is back and ready to learn new wellness techniques at the White Lotus in Thailand, and longtime friends Kate, Laurie and Jaclyn – played by Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon and Michelle Monaghan – have a scores to settle their first holidays in the years.

Throughout the first two episodes, we watched Victoria pop lorazepam like m & msTimothy undergoes frantic telephone calls in the workplace he left behind, Saxon be a huge flutter, Rick treats badly Chelsea, and Kate, Laurie and Jaclyn sail on their obvious relationship, just to scratch the surface. No one other than Mike White (and his cast and his crew) know how this season will get rid of, but thanks to Cristobal Tapia de Veer, he has a great theme song to see it.

“The White Lotus” broadcasts new episodes on Sunday at 9 p.m. HNE on HBO and Max.
