Welcome to thank you, I love it, our series standing out on the screen that is obsessed this week.

There is rarely a moment in the white lotus that is not full of music. Beyond the composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, the emblematic song and its seasonal diversifications (he worked with the Thai composer founded on Brisbane, Penya Visischantaragoon, for season 3), the HBO series through Mike White is never silent, moving among his signs “something” something “.

Gaber Hilfer’s music manager returns for season 3, turning from the Italian delicacy that brought to season 2 to an advantage of pop, disc and Thai rock songs that go from the 60s to our day, of the music with which you could possibly have grown or never before.

“There are a lot of music in this program,” Hilfer told Mashable, who describes music as “fundamentally in the DNA of the program. ” 

“Seeing episode four that has 12 songs, then probably 20 minutes of score,” he said. “It is so much music, wall with a wall and having these paintings in a transparent and coherent way in a way in which everything has the impression of being in Thailand. You are also definitely in the white lotus and you reach the emotional rhythms of each of the characters and the other arches of the story we are experiencing. “

As soon as season 3 of White Lotus for Thailand has been shown, Hilfer says that without delay in the search for the program’s music catalog.  

“I went through my rolodex and I look for someone to whom I have never ruled out the Thai music or who threw me from Thai music, and they retrougure me to see who would be an intelligent resource to use in this regard,” he said. “I also made some popular songs in Thailand, traditionally and currently. I had the lucky one to delight the paintings in a movie about two years called The Creator, which took a position in a amorphous and non -specific component of the southern Asia. I had some resources from there, then I extended studies out. “

The first song we listen to in season 3 after the main song is the emblematic single of 1985 of the Rock Thai Carabao “เมดอินไทยแลนด์ (made in Thailand)”, which now has approximately 30 million perspectives on YouTube. According to Hilfer, the editor -in -chief by White Lotus, John M. Valerio, presented the song for inclusion in the series after listening to surely during the filming of the series in Thailand.  

“He had the emotion and privilege of being in Thailand to film, and told himself:” There is this only song. I listen to it everywhere. I feel it’s great. Can we look at this song “Made in Thailand?” “Hilfer said. ” After excavations and research, ‘made in Thailand’ a massive song of success and is a point of cultural contact for many other people from Thailand. And then everything worked well. “

If you look at the white lotus like me (and many do), you spend part of the episode to keep your phone and hit Shazam. “A lot of existing Shazamming,” said Hilfer. “I would like to know what of those Shazams get in those songs, because I feel that I have a cultural impact. ” This is the reputation and popularity of the white lotus that the needle falls like season 2, the moment when “ciao ciao” of episode 6 saw the burned subdits for song 2022 the rappèning di list.

The soundtrack fills with Thai artists (and artists based on Thai influences), including the Bangkok Molam International Band, Sroeng Santi, Hiplarat Piengsuwan, Hongthong Dao-Udon, Rewat “Ter” Buddhinan, Carabao, Charan Manophet, Nantida Kaewbuasai, more With each scene of each scene.

If he has not discovered it, Hilfer has worked with HBO to update the official Spotify reproduction list of the Lotus White, who will realize that he is not finished with precision for an explanation of why: the songs are maintained and distributed occasionally through independent local labels. “Unfortunately, many songs are not on Spotify because they are under the radar and with smaller Thai labels that have not downloaded them. For those who are, we have put both in Spotify and imaginable to help soft this impressive music. “

A song that I loopy as the screen played through the screen in episode 4. The Buddhinan piece in 1985 “มันแปลกดีนะ”.

“They had this photo and edited, and it was that John Valerio and I did a lot of round trip,” said Hilfer. We talk and try many other things here, until we land there. And obviously he was the winner. ” 

In particular, Hilfer has identified the challenge of achieving authenticity and the intelligent environment in the soundtrack of Lotus White as a user who specialized in Thai music.

“Similarly, with Italian music, I would not be an expert in those things before the project, however, the nature of the paintings is that you immerse yourself in culture and music and discover the resources you need. There is a prayer that is like:” Knowing what you do not know is part of the war from the beginning. “

During season 3, many users of Thai social networks praised musical options, which is deeply for Hilfer.  

“We need to make it great, with certainty, and the resources we have used, we have discovered really wonderful things. But, I mean, I do not speak Thai and, therefore, I am not sure of one hundred percent of those songs. I simply know that in an artistic way, work and correspond, and include the temperatures and vibrations we are doing. Auto-Alert and Real.

If you are not an expert in Thai (Hello), some of the songs that you could have identified are the covers of the program. In episode 1, Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) made his first appearance in the pool in a Saxon Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) to “Kuen Kuen Lueng Lueng by Sroeng Santi”, a surely murderer of the 1970 Black Sabbath harvest in 1970.

“At first, when we accumulate a giant music group of their choice, do we believe, do we deserve to make covers?” Hilfer said. “John [M. Valerio] and I had a verbal exchange and this wine. There is another in episode 1, it is a little less obvious, there is a Thai policy of” woman of black magic. “We are like, in this, because for the western audience, Thai songs are not familiar, so we can make a very strategic point. Music with a little more.

There are canopy in episode 4; While Greg (Jon Gries) $ 18,800,000 of yacht spacecraft in the islands in the same episode, the “ฮ่วยอะบานิบี” pieces of Mollam and Luk Thung Hongthong Dao -udon, is a canopy of Izhar Cohen and Eurovision of Literacy in 1978.

“This song in one of the wonderful music masses that we had knocked down very early and enjoyed it,” said Hilfer. “They edited there and while we entered the authorizations of this, the other people who possessed it were like” correct news, we are satisfied to approve. But for you to know, it’s a blanket. “We were like, is it all? Because I didn’t know the material of origin. “

However, not contained in the soundtrack, the season 3 of White Lotus is also complete of genuine music stars, Lisa de Blackpink (accredited in the series as Lalisa Manoban), which plays a magnificent RAM of Thailand dance in the Mook in the Mook in Episode 5.

And one of the musical strengths of the season, the emblematic Thai Lek Patavadi singer (which also goes through Patravadi “Lek” Mejudhon) plays the owner of the glamor Sritala Hotel. Thanks to the conversations with Patavadi in Preproduction, Hilfer and the Lotus White team controlled a special plan with the artist, a functionality of a song that Patavadi played on his own television program in 1992, which gave the impression in episode 2.

“She recalled this song for us in episode 2,” explains Hilfer. “We made her make some other songs, and she recorded them for us, but we did not finish themarray. They were great, her versions were incredible, but the way this whole series was modified, she lent that she only had one song there. “

But this is not the last time you listen to the song this season. “I do not spoil much, but later in this same song, we listened to it at the time of the program of the original functionality he did on television,” said Hilfer.

Throughout the series, Hilfer and his team also repeat small segments of songs that have discovered in their source of music as emotional markers. A “Thai wedding” pattern through Imade Saputra is used several times in season 3: in episode 2, when Rick (Walton Goggins) despite everything that disagrees the grass, and in episode 4, when Laurie (Carrea coon), Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) and Kate (Leslie Bibb) An Adventure with Valentin (Arnas).  

“We would never repeat ourselves with a lyrical song, however, an instrumental song is different, because it has the almost deliberate intention of reminding you of the emotion you felt when you listened to it for the last time in the program,” explains Hilfer.

The organization of Texas Khruangbin, which arouses a significant influence of Thai He supports the first moments in which we get an excursion through the white lotus and the expansion of the Ratliff family, and while we recorded in breakfast visitors in episode 2.

“These are two other editions of this song too,” said Hilfer. “In episode 1, this is its small workplace program in NPR, and in episode 2, this is the edition of the album. Khruangbin with shame brings many of its influences of Thai music, they are not a Thai group.

Hilfer describes the white lotus as a show that treats music “as a character in the program, not an image reflected later. ” Notably rent the author of Lotus Blanc, explaining how the director and director worries in the music variety for the edition series.

“Mike White’s genius is unmatched in the way it is to reproduce the same point of tension and the same intrigue point without repeating himself, and without feeling like a well -finished territory,” he said.

“I do this for a long time to know how much is a privilege of paintings with whom he knows what he wants, he has a great flavor and has supervised anything since his creation until his end, and being a small component of that musically is honestly a genuine gift. “
