Doom Main OMG me too! Always watched ✨

That, and the art.

Lmao yeah man!

Omg me too

Same!!

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!

He practically forced me to watch the credits every single episode, along with the fire concept art

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..

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.

Bro he totally was holy shit lmao

If The Force is a strand of weed he can get where he lives then yeah totally

Haha Totally. ^^

Literally

fuck yea!

Underrated! Mando and Boba Fett series are more raw and fringe

Oh yes exactly … the theme tune definitely embodies that loneliness of the Manadlorian

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.

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

Nailed it with nostalgic and new. It’s modernly relevant yet nostalgic

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

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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a56nfbWj27zLin0.html

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

@@jaaaaaaaaaaaaaay i agree, sad when the best episode is about Din Djarin :(

Zimmer‘s work sounds always the same

And John Williams

He figuratively is

He’s better than Hans

Ludwig is the second coming

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.

@@everlyw7892 I just love the thought that he's actually being held in there against his will by Disney but doesn't realize it.

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.

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".

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..

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

A bass(et) recorder is not a toy instrument! Look at this for example: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLyaaNeSm7yqlHk.html

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.

I think Rogue One was decent too but thats it

@@TheyWantMeGone69 I agree.

@@TheyWantMeGone69 I was thinking the same.

The prequel era is my favourite but I know what you mean

@@TheyWantMeGone69 Rogue One and Solo. Solo being more fantastic but still has that wild west aspect.

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

Led by the force, he was. 😁😉

He created my favourite soundtrack of all time by messing around with an instrument he could barely play.

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

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.

Amen!

Big time. Ludwig's music is as impactful as williams. Much respect for this man!

Wow that was deep

we did it reddit

@@rhodesyt2106 we did it reddit

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.

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.

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.

Beethoven was a Ludwig too, you gotta specify Göransson :P

@@junethanoschurchill6750 lol

You forgot John Williams

You mean *Ludwig* Van Beethoven?

I'm Joseph

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

5:53 look at that picture and tell me that's not a huge hint for season 2

Ever listened to the original Rocky soundtrack? Bill Conti going the distance

And looking at the concept art at the same time is almost better than the program itself

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)

And Dave Filoni, knowing how much passion he has for it, and his amazing work on the Clone Wars. It's like my dad said the other day, star wars is only good when a true fan who loves it is making it. The passion and love for the series needs to be there

@@MrTylerLenaz1 It might not turn out as good as we expected but it still made shit load of money. So technically still gold in a way. 😅

Oh the day when I see John Williams and Ludwig as co-producers for music at the credits of a Star Wars movie

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

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.
