Wired: And of course, you brought back Tom Morello, who worked with you on Iron Man, to help with that badassery for the Pacific Rim score.Дjawadi: That's right. I experimented with that on Iron Man, and it ended up going more in that direction once we started plugging in a couple guitars, we realized 'Wow, sounds really badass, let's keep that going.' You've got a big orchestra with a really lush sound, and then a guitar or other single instrument, that's really in-your-face and upfront, so to blend the two can be challenging. I always find it very tricky, because sometimes the two elements don't necessarily blend well. I think it's maybe just a way of contemporary scoring, of combining orchestra with modern elements, with synthesizers and guitars. If only I did, maybe this would come a lot easier to me. What's the recipe for making a good theme?Дjawadi: I wish I knew the recipe. All these theme songs, Iron Man, Game of Thrones, Blade: Trinity вЂ“ they all have this repetitive, building, addictive qualities to them. Wired: The theme song you ended up with really fit in with your previous work.

Before we even put music to picture, I played him these, and then we started plugging them into the film to see what would work. So based on those conversations, I sat down and started writing theme ideas. For the kaiju, he wanted to stay more on the traditional side, to pay homage to the Godzilla-type theme, so we used big trombone sections. He always referred to his Jaeger pilots as not really military people, but more like modern cowboys, more rock-n-roll, so he wanted their theme to be twangy, with more guitars.

He wanted it to be a nice adventure film he said, 'I definitely want to be able to hum my theme.' He knew he wanted guitars. Guillermo had a great vision of what he wanted for the film straight from the beginning. Do you have a game plan from the beginning? What was your goal with this particular score?Дjawadi: We started out with broad-stroke discussions. Wired: After your work on films like Iron Man and shows like Game of Thrones, you obviously must be pretty used to these huge productions by now. I wanted to be really big, to go all out for this, so we kept it big from the beginning.

In each section alone, we had more players than the average-sized orchestra. Wired: How big did your orchestra actually end up being?Дjawadi: It was over 100 players, and we had a big Russian choir, lots of extra percussion. When Wired called him last week at his studio at Remote Control Productions вЂ“ the Santa Monica, California company founded by scoring legend Hans Zimmer, who's mentored Djawadi for over a decade вЂ“ he said that when he saw Pacific Rim in theaters he could swear it was even more impressive than he remembered. Under the direction of the film's director Guillermo del Toro and with help from former collaborators like Tom Morello (whose signature guitar work defines the film's title track) and the RZA (who contributed his songwriting and production skills to a bonus track), Djawadi has crafted a behemoth, 100-plus-minute score that ought to convince even the biggest skeptics and genre purists that this is an apocalypse worth getting jacked up for. Now he's brought his brand of utter badassery to the kaiju-on-mecha saga Pacific Rim.
