‘Succession Composer Nicholas Britell Enters The ‘Star Wars Universe With Music For ‘Andor (EXCLUSIVE)
Composer Nicholas Brittle knows how to keep secrets. A three-time Oscar nominee and Emmy winner, Legacy spent two years working in complete secrecy on Andor, the upcoming Star Wars series.
Andorra's details were revealed yesterday in Lucasfield at a Star Wars gala in Anaheim, California. Diego Luna will return as Disney+'s Cassian Andor on August 31 in 2016's 12-episode series Rogue One.
During this time, Brittle returned to New York and trained regularly. While Brittel is limited in what he can say about the series, Star Wars fans have agreed to preview what they can expect in three months time.
The Star Wars universe is historically the product of the world-renowned symphonic works of John Williams. But in recent months, The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett have been moving in some unusual directions, including some unusual hues and colors. How does Britel describe the music of "Andor"?
Crisp: “I really want to say something to the orchestra. The orchestra plays a big part in that. There are many different sounds and I have created many new ones. There's strings and horns, but there's a lot of other stuff too."
“Without further ado, [executive producer] Cathy Kennedy, [writer and host] Tony Gilroy, everyone felt it was important from the start to create a unique set of voices for this story, for the characters in the world. That we were created here.
"So there was a lot of discussion, but I had a lot of freedom to explore things.
Gilroy had spoken to Brittel months earlier, and the composer was able to write "Source Music" on the screen. "I write all the music and I write the original music," Brittle said.
This is their first joint venture. "My wife and I are huge Tony Gilroy fans," Brittle added.
"Tony and I first met in August 2020. The show has a lot of music, so we got into it and it's still going on today. We meet several hours a week. (Bretel and Gilroy are known to be neighbors in Manhattan)."
When asked how the collaboration began, Brittle said, "There were a few things Tony had to realize beforehand: very little. Experimentation is really important in the process of making music; you don't know until you try to do something in the Star Wars universe?
The search for musical solutions for certain scenes eventually generated a number of issues - not only for the characters, but also for the relationship. “I always love topics when they come into contact with different personalities. It can be something that focuses on someone, but it can also be a really big story.”
Brittel said London's AIR Lyndhurst Studios ("almost every month") had several recording sessions, although he declined to say how many musicians were working. "It's going to be as big as it gets," he said. (The AIR easily accommodates 80-90 players.)
“The scope of the series is huge. Each chapter has new requirements, new music and new ideas. As the story progresses, so does the music. We've been working non-stop for months, but really for years.
Brittle has been unable to attend recording sessions in London due to pandemic restrictions, but he has a team he'd believe in if he recently scored at Underground, Do Not Watch and Cruila.
Brittle pays tribute to John Williams, who appeared on Anheem yesterday for bringing the Obi-Wan Kenobi theme to Disney+ today. "I don't think there is a composer in the Star Wars universe who says the music isn't inspired or influenced in any way.
Lucasfield said in a statement yesterday that the series "explores an age of danger, deceit and deception.
Brittle declined to comment on how the secrecy has affected his music. But he says: "I always wanted to do something in Kai's world. Of course I didn't do it."
