3 days ago | 5 Views
Three-time Emmy winner Cristóbal Tapia de Veer has announced that he won't be returning for season 4 of The White Lotus. He cited creative differences with the show's creator, Mike White, as the reason for his departure.
In a chat with The New York Times, Cristóbal revealed that their disagreements began during season 1 while they were working on the show's theme song. These differences only intensified during the production of the current season. His distinctive theme, 'ooh-loo-loo-loo,' contributed to the show's eerie vibe, which fans loved, but it was notably absent in season 3.
White was aiming for a more relaxed and sultry atmosphere in Season 3
For this season, the composer mentioned that White was looking for a more vibrant background track, something you might hear in Ibiza at a trendy club with a laid-back, sexy atmosphere.
“I shot a text to the producer suggesting that we should eventually include the longer version with the ooh-loo-loo-loos, because people would totally freak out when they realize it was going in that direction,” Tapia de Veer shared with the Times. “He thought it was a solid idea, but then Mike decided to cut it — he wasn’t on board with that,” the composer explained.
“A few months back, I let the team know that I wouldn’t be returning and that I was stepping away. I didn’t inform Mike for a bunch of reasons; I wanted to save it for the end for the element of surprise. I did tell the entire editorial team, the music editor, and the producer, but I didn’t expect them to spill the beans to him. Eventually, he found out,” he added.
