The composer of `The White Lotus ” leaves the series in the middle of the debate on the theme song of season 3

The composer of “The White Lotus”, the Emmy Emmy, Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, officially left the series in the middle of a dispute with the creator Mike White. Tapia de Veer told the New York Times that a clash on the theme song of season 3 was partly the catalyst for the decision to leave the Buzzy show.

White wanted “background music … A song that looks more like something you listen to in Ibiza, in a clubby place with a fresh and sexy atmosphere”, according to Tapia de Veer, who did not have the same sound as the other two songs with previous theme.

“I sent a text to the producer and I told him that it would be great, at one point, to give (to the public) the longer version with the” ooh-lyoos “, because people will explode if they realize that it was going there anyway,” said Tapia de Veer. “He thought it was a good idea. But then Mike cut that – he was not happy with that.”

Tapia de Veer then published the Cup, as included below. As for the Tapia de Veer partnership with White, who fell on the edge of the road. “I mean, at that time, we already had our last fight forever, I think. So he just said no to anything,” said Tapia de Veer about White opposing the longer theme song.

And so Tapia de Veer Quiet left: “I announced to the team a few months ago that I was not coming back, that I was leaving,” said Tapia de Veer. “I didn’t tell Mike for various reasons; I wanted to tell him just at the end for the shock and whatever. Except that I said to the whole editorial team and the editor -in -chief and producer of music and all that, but I did not think they were going to tell him. At one point, he heard about it. “

Tapia de Veer compared by working on “The White Lotus” to the 1978 French film “La Cage aux Folles Folles”, saying: “You know how there is Albin, who is like the star, and there is Renato, who is the producer who always takes care that Albin does not lose mind about something, because Albin is the diva and Renato is the guy who tries to work.

“The White Lotus” is also similar to a “Story Rock ‘N’ Roll Band”, with White and Tapia de Veer. “I was like, ok, it’s like a rock group in which I went before where the guitarist does not understand the singer at all,” he said.

Indiewire contacted HBO and White representatives to comment.
