How 'The Mandalorian' Score Found The New 'Star Wars' Sound

- How did the new 'Star Wars' spinoff series 'The Mandalorian' find it's eerie opening tune?
Ludwig Göransson, Academy Award-winning composer, walks viewers through his creative process for Variety Artisans presented by HBO. Göransson says when he first used the set of recorders, he thought the children's instrument's sound was too simple for the "Star Wars" franchise.
But after adding the other elements, the music became more complex and something worthy of being featured in "The Mandalorian." bit.ly/VarietySubscribe

This man is responsible for making me sit through the credits after every single episode
Doom Main OMG me too! Always watched ✨
That, and the art.
Lmao yeah man!
Omg me too
Same!!
This guy produced redbone by Childish Gambino, wrote the Black Panther score, and got recommended by Zimmer for TENET.
A new legend is being born in front of our eyes.
He's the Hans Zimmer of our time. I'm calling it.
And also the soundtrack for creed 1 and 2. Runnin from creed 2 is a BANGER and I haven't even seen the movies
I love his score on mando and tenet but listen to “going the distance, by bill conti” from Rocky and tell me that the mando score is not the exact same.
I remember watching a vid on how he made the instrumentals on Red Bone! didn't knew he made the Mando theme! awesome!
He's produced almost 3 albums for Childish!
This man single handedly made Mandalorian special in a way most don't even realize.
He practically forced me to watch the credits every single episode, along with the fire concept art
This guy is so awesome. I met him once and he was so kind and humble.
Oh hey garret
where did you meet him?
Swedes are humble
where did you meet him?
@Garett watts & LUDWIG in one sitting.. I love you both ❤️🤧😭 how did I get so lucky..
Disney: You have one month to write the score...by yourself
Ludwig: This is the way
Ludwig: b b but I ca-
Disney: I have spoken
Wow that I love your comment. Haha :D
Not to diminish Gorannson's skill, but that is actually very normal for a movie/tv series
@@joshuaward2271 I personally find it pretty iconic. It works so well with the show. I can't imagine anything better.
@@Apollo2g the deal has been altered, pray i do not alter it any further.
"That's what I was trying to achieve when I locked myself into the studio for a month to be guided by the instruments..." Bruh. You were guided by The Force.
Bro he totally was holy shit lmao
B r u h
If The Force is a strand of weed he can get where he lives then yeah totally
Haha Totally. ^^
Literally
It really is a perfect song for the outer rim. John Williams is fitting for the inner planets, but Ludwig captured the Wild West/Kurosawa vibe of the Outer Rim.
fuck yea!
Underrated! Mando and Boba Fett series are more raw and fringe
I can feel the loneliness of the Mandalorian character, the resilience, and hope. How to face a problem with confidence even in the worst scenarios and with the mindset that everything will be fine.
Oh yes exactly … the theme tune definitely embodies that loneliness of the Manadlorian
He absolutely nailed it. It's instantly iconic.
Agreed. He really created something that sounds like a "classic star wars" theme that's immediately identifiable
It's the perfect combination of old western themes and classic star wats music, it's one of my favorite star wars themes now
It wasn't instantly iconic to me. Eventually though I can't imagine it any other way. Fantastic score.
@aljanat5 what plastic disney version of reality
@aljanat5 I mean, sure you did
The mandalorian theme sounds like s futuristic cowboy movie and i love it.
It's like Cowboy Bebop without actually being Cowboy Bebop.
I think both Cowboy Bebop and Star Wars in general (probably not the newer ones, though, except maybe Rogue One) fall under the category of space western, that's why it feels like that.
Learning that The Lone Wolf and the Cub has influenced the show, the score makes even more sense.
@@Ken-vl4wk The show is a pastiche, and it goes at its source materials HARD. What prevents it from tipping over to a parody of itself is this music which glues all the parts together into a believable seamless narrative. The theme song is itself a synthesis of Morricone and John Williams that is so well integrated that it’s greater than the sum of its parts. It’s a rare work where the influences are so clearly present, yet is 100% original.
I mean that's basically what it is lol. The wild west of the Star Wars universe after the fall of the Empire.
When you first hear the Mandalorian theme, it’s almost jarring and gritty. It’s also so alien. The dissonance is so unique, yet masterfully harnessed. I honestly hated it after the first 1 and a half episodes until I started immersing myself in the series and character. He captures the wilderness of the outer rim and the western sci-fi vibe so well. Now I can’t imagine not having this piece of art in Star Wars forever. It is a piece worthy of sitting next to John Williams scores for sure.
The first time I heard this theme I just couldn't believe how brilliant it was. Instantly recognizable and iconic. Nostalgic and new. Rough but delicate. Personal but epic.
Nailed it with nostalgic and new. It’s modernly relevant yet nostalgic
This guy gets it
Toast an unexpected surprise but a welcome one.
@@guero2195 a surprise to be sure but a welcome one
He does
Evan i see you are a man of culture as well
Omg I used to watch your black ops 2 videos all the time ❤️
This music gives it a western movie feel. It's gritty, kinda dirty, and a little shady. And it still has an otherworldly sound.
I agree, I love the really alien sound it has at the slow bits... Creepy and eerie
It fits the used universe idea that is Star Wars.
It's a Space Western on purpose.
Dnell Buck it's so perfect he just totally gets it. Absolute masterpiece and I can't wait to see what's in store for Ludwig. What an amazing young talent
EXACTLY. The sequels completely lost that feeling of grit that the original movies had. There's a montage in one of the earlier episodes of Mandaorian where he's walking through a desolate, dingy town. I saw that, heard the score and just knew "Yes, that's 1970s Star Wars".
Ludwig is literally the younger version of Hans Zimmer. I'm so obsessed with his talent
Zimmer‘s work sounds always the same
And John Williams
He figuratively is
He’s better than Hans
Ludwig is the second coming
This man's music has touched my heart and helped me love Star Wars again. Thank you, Ludwig Göransson.
Same, I love the Book of Boba Fett theme!
@@lordpichi1 Book of boba fett has insane music. But the overall show is kind of boring
@@tango6130 i agree, sad when the best episode is about Din Djarin :(
The Mandalorian has an actual score, an actual theme you can hum. I miss that sort of thing.
Indeed. OSTs need a purpose and tend to blend in into movies, but the iconic theme tracks haven't been a trend since the times of Pirates of the Caribbean (w/ the exception of maybe Avengers Infinity War and Game of Thrones) and it's a shame. This guy brought them back
This just need upvotes! The music is unique and not just your everyday, bland film-score that is a copy of the work score they wanted to emulate.
AND it has a signature TONE! Recorders immediately make me think of the Mandalorian the same way the harmonica makes me think of Once upon a time in the West. Few people can do that real well(Bear McReary pulled it off with the hurdy-gurdy and the amazing soundtrack he did for a very underrated series: Black Sails) so thats pretty amazing!
Man I hum this theme almost everyday. It's so good.
@@domingadoflaminga3961 and Hans zimmer
To me, the Mandalorian feels more like Star Wars than anything since the original trilogy.
I think Rogue One was decent too but thats it
@@sarcasticsaber8902 I agree.
@@sarcasticsaber8902 I was thinking the same.
The prequel era is my favourite but I know what you mean

@@everlyw7892 I just love the thought that he's actually being held in there against his will by Disney but doesn't realize it.
Dude is a true fan. This music is just as iconic as the originals. Once that music hits, you know exactly what it’s from.
This theme is both completely different and yet perfectly Star Wars. He found just the right balance. It's amazing.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Just like the series. It is completly different then the Star Wars we know, but it is perfect!
It’s perfectly Rocky
Yes I dont know how he managed it
@@alexhetherington8028 This is how he managed it ua-cam.com/video/58wJRrvVgZI/v-deo.html
This guy made me and probably everyone else, watch the entirety of an intro and outro of a series without skipping it.
Facts
Bests intro and outro music ever
Yeah I absolutely love the score.
Same here! Love the outro especially with the art
Yep that is the way
As someone who actually saw Star wars when it was originally released, listening to the theme from the mandalorian, literally brings you back to the feelings you had when you saw the original Star wars. First time I heard it I actually got teary-eyed, it hit my heart that hard....
It's still mind boggling to me, just how emotionally stirring this song is every single time I hear it. So dope seeing how he composed it and how it started from such a simplistic beat!
I remember Favreau saying in an interview that instead of taking inspiration directly from star wars to create the mandalorian he took inspiration from the inspirations that created star wars to create the mandalorian.
I think that's a pretty genius way of going about that.
Thank you! That's exactly what's bugging me about the new trilogy...it feels like it's inspired by Star Wars while Mando feels waaaaaay more real and true.
Finally someone spelled it out for me.
@@geri121 no problem
Favreau is an utter genius, he is the definition of the underrated underdog proving his worth through constantly striving to be better.
pretty obvious to anyone in a creative capacity, not to boardroom members. how would you make music like boards of canada if you didn't know about their childhoodn how would you paint like vermeer if you didn't research his pigments, and so on. star wars is a mix n match of kurosawa, space opera, (spaghetti)westerns ... but to the 'creators of the prequels it was about quirky aliens and shiny ships... smh.
That makes a lot of sense. The Mandalorian would still work if you switched all the Star Wars elements for Western or Samurai themes. The new movies, on the other hand, lean far too much on the original Star Wars trilogy, especially the JJ Abrams films.
Disney: We need a new tune for the Mandalorian.
Ludwig: Ima make history with this pvc pipe.
Kinda does look like him
@@smii7ymilk919 not that guy
Now I'm confused on what u guys saying
@@smii7ymilk919 The guy in this vid, his name is Ludwig, and he plays the plastic bass-recorder, which looks like a piece of pvc.
The plan is simple
I love how this theme has the vibe of the western genre and the otherworldly sound but it still connects with the original star wars trilogy and maybe also the prequels, it has the elements from the themes of those movies. Fantastic work by Ludwig Göransson.
What a Genius. SO happy we live in a time this process can ve shared
This man has no idea what he's done while simultaneously knowing exactly what he's done. if you know what i mean

@@GreenFalcon926 you don't know that
@@dangwancie4797 he does
The respect and reverence shown for the franchise is really gratifying, no wonder the end result is so perfect. Something obviously lacking from the sequel trilogy.
The heart and soul of star wars was lacking from the sequels, and John Williams did do the music for it. Was is amazing? Yes. But even John couldn't compete with his prior work without rhe soul of the movie.
theres always crybabies in star wars comment sections crying about the sequel trilogy shut uppppp
@@demetriussousa9044 nah
@@molejk754 go watch the last jedi
@@demetriussousa9044 why? It sucks
i vividly remember hearing this theme for the first time when i sat down to watch episode 1, and feeling chills run up my arms. i knew i was hooked from that first note
Kinda miraculous how this dude’s parents named him Ludwig, and then he became a very well-known composer.
Grew up with a studio and many different instruments, meaning his parents are musicians? Thats what it sounded like.
They knew what they were doing😉
commom name in Skandinavia, but still cool indeed
All the guys named Ludwig working at McDonald's want to have a chat
Not really that special. Ludwig is a common name. It's like saying "Kinda miraculous how this dude's parents named him Lewis and then he became a very well-known driver" Funnily enough Lewis has been used to anglicise the German name "Ludwig"
Wiki says he is in fact named after Ludwig van Beethoven.
This isn’t your typical Star Wars sound . . . Which is what makes it so good. He didn’t just copy Williams, he came up with his own sound that FITS the theme of the show. Excellent work.
The movie makers can learn a thing or two from that statement. It doesn't need to imitate Star Wars, It just has to fit Star Wars. The HU made a mongolian rock(?) song for Star Wars: The Fallen Order that fits perfectly in Star Wars without being anything like what's already been done.
HansChrist yes agreed. That’s a good example of good fit. It’s the emotional pull that makes the music...something that Williams is a genius at finding.
@@SuperHansimann Completely agree. I had the same thoughts the first time I've seen Rogue One, especially the opening scene. It was not a copy/paste from the previous trilogies. The vibes was different but you could 'sens' the star wars spirit.
@@Exokor It's that planetary ring fake out, that does it I think.
Nah, it makes it bad, it distracted me constantly from the SW universum atmosphee. Plain, empty music, well, what current generation loves..
This has got to be the ultimate goal for sound design. Travelling, experiencing other cultures and their music and experimenting to create new sounds. What a dream job and you can tell he works so hard to be where he is.
My friend said: "i'm so glad that no matter the universe Ludwig still never left behind his roots in hip hop" and i cannot agree more
We all got taught to play recorder at school. Let’s take a second to imagine the parallel world where we learned the mandalorian theme instead of three blind mice
Lolll how amazing that would be
Not everyone got thought lol
Look up Sarah Jeffery's Team Recorder channel - she gives a tutorial on the recorder parts!
i can still
It isn't a parallel world - it's just a few years later. Sure, we music teachers still use things like Three Blind Mice because it's needed to develop the motor skills in the fingers, but we play this too.
This man is a genius
fIrSt
Gonna go down as one of the best composers of all time. Already done Mandalorian, Creed, Tenet, Black Panther and he's only going to get more work in the near future.
@@Jdubayou New Hans Zimmer.
@@Jdubayou John Williams would be most proud
The Table Speaks words of Wisdom
This guy did an absolutely masterful job. He gave The Mandalorian a very unique identity music wise. And it very much enhanced the show, as well as set it apart from the rest of star wars in a good way
This will go down as one of the greatest sound pieces. This man is a legend, and he did it with like a toy instrument to start.
A bass(et) recorder is not a toy instrument! Look at this for example: ua-cam.com/video/ZVj5ta6VFdE/v-deo.html
I love that one of the best Star wars score was made by a single dude in his space, alone, and totally duding out, I love it.
Totally agree. A true artist in his space doing his craft. Creating something new organically. Something uncommon nowadays, I guess.
The best Star Wars score? Nah.
The best is most definitely written by Williams. Idk which one, but it’s definitely one of his.
@@aqwrd8654 I meant originally that it was one of the best but right now, I’m in love with the sound design of the Mandalorian
@@parmesean2776 It’s definitely legit, no doubt.

Thank you Ludwig for being so gifted musically. This is my favorite Theme of all time!
Worthy of hanging with John Williams. The subtle themes and cues and how they reappear is masterful. Even though it sounds so different, it FEELS Star Wars! Like how the new shows feel more true to spirit than the new movies. I hope he keeps coming up with innovative new themes for every new character
That theme captures Mando and the entire atmosphere of The Mandalorian perfectly. It's got a mysterious tune for a mysterious character and a primal undertone for the sense of tribal unity that comes with being a mandalorian. It's perfect.
great description. 👍
Couldn’t have said it better.
My exact thoughts, they couldn't have made a better theme for The Mandalorian.
Exactly.. specifically the Tribal vibe of the Soundtrack..
Yes! and the fanfare gives a sense of strength and power too.
"it doesn't sound as SciFi anymore."
But it sure as hell sounds like Star Wars!
Both are true.
Well, I don't agree. It totally sounds like SciFi and it totally sounds like Star Wars. And of course it's great and there is even a tribute to John williams. This guy got it all.
Its sounds like its paving the way for a new subgenre of what will become scifi
It went from trying to fit into a category to creating its own more successful category
Star Wars never was scifi.
Its an space fantasy
It is a masterpiece, Ludwig. Complete, comprehensive. It captures the TRUE-Mandalorian experience.
I find myself doing the ududu doo ududu doo sound randomly at least a few times a week. It such a genius little sequence of notes
For anyone who didn't know, this dude produced redbone by childish gambino and like every other song by him. as well as wrote the black panther score. so cool to see him get more recognition!
He also scored all of the music for the show “Community” talk about RANGE!!!
He won the Grammy for the Black Panther score in 2019. That's recognition!
I cant even remember a single tune from BP.....mustve been good :P
Wakanda forever :(
@@Yooooooo83 Dude just saw he died! RIP to a legend
This music does what John Williams’ music does, it immediately transports you into this world and allows you to escape yours for a brief period in time. When that music hits, it hits you right in the feels.
Amen!
Big time.
Ludwig's music is as impactful as williams.
Much respect for this man!

"This is the Way"
Göransson did such an outstanding job in bringing out the themes of the show through it's soundtrack, I'm super impressed with his work.
The moment I heard the first score with the flute I was like. “I’m here for this. This is the way.”
It's a recorder actually (Sorry to be that guy)
This is the way
this is the way

The Mandalorian theme is one of the most beautiful, haunting, cool, larger than life musical compositions ever. It feels new and fresh and also classic Star Wars. It's tribal and it's grandiose. I can't stop listening to it.
I can’t either. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. I have set for my alarm, ringtone, text tone, reminders, etc
It’s a bop for sure
Bruh when it comes on I wanna twerk.
There's no doubt The Mandalorian universally ranks the highest for most viewers of the show, because of this man input
Some great composers see everything as music, and they tell epic stories through big and perfectly tuned orchestras.
Some great composers see music in everything, and they let the story unfold through intimacy with instruments in the orchestra.
Star Wars have been lucky to experience both, through John Williams and Ludwig Göransson.
The Mandalorian song is iconic now and the whole Mandalorian brought back the "Star Wars" feeling I got when I first saw the first 3 movies.
I was introduced to Star Wars before I could remember and I've been a fan since. I watched the new movies and thought okay cool, fine. I didn't hate them but understood some of the issues. My (14 yo at the time) daughter had more of an issue with them than I did. Then I watched the Mandalorian and was like oh yeah this is what Star Wars is supposed to be like. THIS is the feeling I had while watching the originals as a child. After watching the first episode my daughter said "this feels way more like Star Wars to me." Totally reinvigorated my love for SW.
@@laurenhazlett6327 I'm on the same exact boat. The sequel trilogy was alright. Honestly, I love Star Wars so much I prefer "meh" star wars than no star wars at all. The visuals, sound effects & light sabers is what scratched that itch....... but man.... the mandalorian though.... awoke something inside. I loved every single episode & second of it. The music, the story, the mystery, the wonder, the atmosphere, the FEELING, the humor & the characters. I felt like a child again. I don't even care about the sequels anymore. This is my Star Wars right here, & I'm ok with that 😊
@@laurenhazlett6327 For me, as a bad as it sounds, one of the main things missing was the brutality
@@angrymario8259 yeah that's why most people enjoy the mandalorian as it brings back the brutality element
@@sansthespoopyskeleton1036 for me, I think it's that The Mandalorian managed to pull off the trick of showing you the Star Wars universe from a new perspective. I did like the new movies, for the most part, but they suffer from the baggage that the original movies placed on them. The Mandalorian wisely mostly stayed away from the original characters, the Jedi, and the Force. That's all still there, but it's not front and centre. The stories would still work in a Western or a Samurai, with all the Star Wars elements stripped away, which I don't think you can say the new movies would entirely manage.
“So ludwig what instruments do you play?”
“Yes”
Well, to be fair, all composers are instrument geeks and play a little bit of everything. It's part of the job.
@@DaGuys470 yeah fr. Even my middle school band director plays every instrument in the band
I appreciate how passionate this guy is about each of his projects. He lives for this

It's a spaghetti western with technology. The score gives it that feel.

What is a score in this context
Michael Gonzalez, Anthony It's basically another word for the soundtrack
Who knew my hatred for recorders one day would change. This is the way!
This dude did the impossible. He made a recorder sound cool. 5th grade me would never have believed it possible. Hats off to you, Ludwig! I look forward to hearing what else you can do!
Two simple things that make the recorder sound decent: cover the goddam holes properly and adjust your blowing to the notes you play. High notes need lots of air, low notes need almost no air. Give high notes too little or low notes too much and they will sound crappy. Oh, and a third thing: don’t blow while moving your fingers into position for the next note. Use the tip of your tongue against your upper front teeth and/or the dental ridge right behind them… that makes it really easy to start and stop the airflow quickly.
That’s basically all it takes for the recorder to not sound awful.

Favreau is a genius. Everything he touches turn to gold. Not only that he's a talented writer/director himself, but he also senses the greatness in others too. Damn, what a legend
Yes, like what a genius move to hire Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian. He knew he needed an accomplished actor that can give soul to a character who can’t show his face. He was right when he said he can’t have just anybody in the suit and use a voice actor since mando’s face is hidden. Favreau also made the genius move to hire Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man when no one was hiring him because of his past problems with drugs.
I was literally saying those exact words last night! Everything he touches literally turns to gold.
He's like midas, ( i didnt want to have to put this, but not the fortnite fake)

The Mandalorian has to have one of the best theme songs I've ever heard.
It's very rare when I'm blown away by the music in a movie or show.....this is one of those times.
This dude has taken Star Wars music to the next level. Seems that everyone has embraced his amazing musical choices that add depth and breadth to Williams and the world building. I’ve seen the future and his name is Ludwig.
YES
Jesse Harlin is way above.
I am impressed with how it doesn't really imitate John Williams. I always thought Williams' sound was inseparable from Star Wars, but The Mandolorian proved to me that other sounds could also work and still feel like Star Wars.
He completely immitates bill Conti going the distance from Rocky 1 soundtrack
Either you like it or you don't. This inseparable feeling is just association. If the theme fits like a glove and is thought through and well done, then it boils down to either you like it or you don't.
He’s so right, the mastery in this track is multiple, but the conversation of sounds and the place they take you has really defined the world & soul of this show. But it’s also epic. What an incredible achievement for this guy. Loved this:)
I love this soundtrack so much. It’s so different and futuristic, yet ancient and powerful. It really helps to tell the story and portray the essence of the character. This music really captures the very idea behind the character
The story occurs in the Outer Rim territories which are wild and unsettled, exotic. The score absolutely captures that feeling.
Dude knocked it out of the park. This is one of the best theme I've ever heard. And it's especially important for The Mandalorian, since for the first several episodes we have just one main character who seldom speaks and whose face we never see, and a puppet. The music shoulders a huge burden for setting the tone and feel of the show and setting, and it nails it. It's also so distinct and easily recognizable. Just amazing.
Well put
💯

He delivered like few others have. His sounds seem perfect!! Avant-garde as shit. Take the track for the mudhorn fight as an example - insane!!
What? Baby Yoda is a puppet??
mando theme and BOBF’s “YA” are two of the most attractive pieces of sound design i’ve ever heard
I come back to this video every now and then, just to remind myself what a genius this man is.
I’d totally be cool if this guy takes the wheel for Star Wars music all together. (with John Williams blessing of course lol)
Oh the day when I see John Williams and Ludwig as co-producers for music at the credits of a Star Wars movie
Him and Samuel Kim could pull it off
This is the way
I really hate to say it but I think episode 9 was the last movie John Williams would compose for
@@generalpatrick1877 the score for the new movies weren’t as good as the others
This is what you get when everyone involved Loves Star Wars
I love this song for how it tells you the story you are about to watch.
The beginning with the recorders feels tribal representing the mandalorian tribe Mando belongs to but as it plays you hear building drums raising tension like a coming storm which to me represents the Night of 1,000 Tears. Then we get the drum beat that sounds like a galloping horse and that guitar which is totally giving a western vibe which Mando is a gunslinging bounty hunter. Finally we get the fanfare which tells us this is going to be an epic adventure.
All of that from one piece of music. Simply genius.
I don’t think people realize how good the Black Panther score was. It was something else.
The fact that he created the score for the Mandalorian and helped produce several Childish Gambino songs, says that this man is a Swiss Army knife of music production
@@OmpoStarslayer No I think he used that metaphor to show that Ludwig can do anything, just like a Swiss army knife
@@OmpoStarslayer shut up.
It definitely has something to do with him being a film composer, You get to make all different types of genres of music when you are a film composer so that does help a-lot.
Swedish army knife
He literally killed this. Couldn’t have done a better job
He probably could have with more time, but I can't even imagine how he could have done better
What a stupid thing to say about art. We’ll never know what could have been. That’s the beauty.
So iconic, it took just a couple of seconds of that flute at the end of TBOBF 4th episode to send fans on a hype over the return of the Mandalorian ❤️
I was super skeptical and worried when it was announced he’d be scoring a Star Wars series. I was completely unfounded in my worries. It’s a terrific theme, and it’s really grown on me.
