Its harsh, but its beautiful at the same time as well.
It was a great challenge.
One thing Hany really wanted was to blend the environment with the music, he says.

It fits tonally with the piano and the strings, Djawadi points out.
Its part of the environment, the nature.
Separation
Both tracks are a marked departure from what Djawadi had written for previous films in his oeuvre.
Its quite different compared to all of the other scores Ive written, he observes of hisMountain Between Usscore.
Ive done a lot of bigger action scores.
This is notPacific Rim, notIron Man, notWarcraft.Game of Thrones, I guess, is a beautiful hybrid.
This track, therefore, uses a smaller collection of musicians than Djawadi usually does.
It was very special, because it was very personal, and a very small score, he says.
We used a medium to a small orchestra, and everything really was mostly just strings and a piano.
Its an intimate setup for an intimate film.
The Mountain Between Ushits theaters Oct. 6.
