“The white lotus” Emmy winning composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer have officially left the series in the middle of a dispute with the Creator Mike White. Tapia de Veer told New York Times The fact that a collision about the theme song for Season 3 was partly the catalyst for the decision to leave the lively show.
White wanted “background music … A song that is more like something you would listen to in Ibiza, to any club place with a chilly, sexy vibe”, according to Tapia de Veer, who did not have the same sound as the two previous season’s theme songs.
“I texted the producer and I told him it would be good to give (the audience) the longer version with ‘ooh-loo-loo-loos’, because people will explode if they realize it would go there anyway,” said Tapia de Veer. “He thought it was a good idea. But then Mike cut it – He was not happy with it. ”
However, Tapia de Veer later released the cut, but which is included below. When it comes to Tapia de Veer’s partnership with White, which fell to the road. “I mean, at that time we already had our last struggle forever, I think. So he just said no to anything,” Tapia de Veer said about white objections to Longer theme song.
And so Tapia de Veer ended quietly: “I announced the team a few months ago that I would not come back, that I left,” said Tapia de Veer. “I didn’t tell Mike for various reasons; I wanted to tell him right at the end to the shock and whatever. Except I told the whole editorial and the music editor and the producer and all this, but I didn’t think they would tell him. At some point he heard about it.”
Tapia de Veer compared working with “The White Lotus” with the French movie 1978 “La Cage Aux Folles”, and says, “You know how there is Albin, which is like the star, and there is Renato, who is the producer who always takes care that Albin does not lose his mind if something is not to be the diva and reindeer that A lot like that is a lot, because Albin is the divan and Renato is the guy who tries to do everything that works for me, what is not as much as it is a lot like it, there is a lot that, there is a lot that is a lot to know about me. “
“The White Lotus” was also related to a “rock ‘n’ roll band story”, with White and Tapia de Veer colliding. “I was like, ok, this is like a rock band I’ve been to before where the guitar player doesn’t understand the singer at all,” he said.
Indieview has reached HBO and representatives of White for comments.
