'Game of Thrones' Composer Creating 'Gears of War 4' Score

The composer for “Game of Thrones” is swapping the sword-filled realm of Westeros for the monster-plagued world of Sera.

Emmy- and Grammy-nominated Ramin Djawadi has crafted the score for “Gears of War 4,” the forthcoming fifth installment in the action shooter series for Xbox One and PC. The prolific film and TV composer says he put his own spin on the game’s soundtrack while remaining faithful to the nearly decade-old “Gears” series.

“Obviously, I wanted to make it very different from ‘Game of Thrones,’” said Djawadi. “Whenever I approach a new project, I want to make sure I’m setting up a new sound - even through we’re still using a lot of orchestra and percussion.”
