I found it quite interesting that there’s a definite The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt vibe with this one. Geralt of Rivia is set to be one of the show’s central pieces of music, played in both the title sequence and throughout the show in various arrangements depending on the tone of the scene. They’ve previously collaborated together on other projects, too, including The Romanoffs, and The Mist. Both have been composed by Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli, a pair of musicians who have been working on The Witcher’s soundtrack for over a year. The three tracks are called Geralt of Rivia, Toss a Coin to Your Witcher, and Hot Shower.
Today marks our first real taster of The Witcher’s OST thanks to two released tracks via Indiewire, and a third bonus track listed on SoundCloud. Quite understandably, much more has been made of the casting, story focus, and aesthetic design of Netflix’s upcoming The Witcher adaptation in the build-up to its release than has the music, but there’s no denying that a good score goes a hell of a long way in making a show memorable.
