l've said something to this effect before, but writing violin solos for Damir is a dream. It's a real display of mastery to get to the very top of the fingerboard on the E string and still have a full, rich, warm tone.
I was surprised by how this piece of music changed the scene for me when I watched it back for the first time. I've always considered music an important part of this kind of storytelling. But the way this musical performance really brings out Child Lestat's fear and horror at seeing women burned alive at the stake wasn't something I expected. I wasn't focused specifically on those moments when I wrote it, I was trying to think of the bigger picture of the whole scene. It still moves me when i listen to it now, and | still see the terror on that brilliant actor's face.
@hannahmoscovitch wrote an incredible finale to the season.
What a gift to be able to write this kind of music for a TV show.
Thanks for watching and listening."
