Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, renowned composer behind the “White Lotus” main theme, has announced he will not return for Season 4.
In an interview with The New York Times, composer Tapia de Veer, hailing from Chile and based in Quebec, revealed conflicting ideas about the theme song between seasons 1 and 3, particularly during filming in Thailand. De Veer’s eerie theme for HBO’s hit series won a Creative Arts Emmy Award in 2022 and significantly contributed to the show’s dark and unsettling ambiance through the use of peculiar sounds, such as a persistent ‘ooh-loo-loo-loo’ chorus. However, White expressed disapproval from the beginning, as shared with The New York Times by de Veer. White desired “background music” or a song reminiscent of club tunes in Ibiza, while de Veer’s composition was more mysterious and unsettling. In season 3, White successfully transformed the theme song into a more conventional lounge tune, omitting the ‘ooh-loo-loo-loo’ chorus, which has sparked mixed reactions among fans of the show.
De Veer stated, “I messaged the producer and suggested we might eventually send them the extended version including the ‘ooh-loo-loo-loos’. He agreed it was a good suggestion, but later Mike decided to remove that part, as he wasn’t pleased with the decision.
It seems that we’ve had our final argument, as far as I can tell. That’s why he refused any further proposals,” he explained. Later on, EbMaster reached out to HBO for a response.
He said that since we had our last fight, he didn’t want to agree to anything else, and later, EbMaster contacted HBO for clarification.
As a passionate movie enthusiast, I’ve shared my concerns about the score titled “Enlightenment” quite a few times, given the numerous complaints I’ve received. In response, I’ve decided to upload the uncut version of this song on YouTube for everyone to hear. Working on this show and my subsequent disagreement with White feels eerily similar to a classic rock ‘n’ roll band tale.
He stated that it reminded him of being in a rock band previously, where the guitarist and the vocalist seemed to have little communication or understanding between them.
Besides this, he playfully commented that his complex dynamics with White reminded him of the quirky 1978 French film “The Birdcage,” featuring Michel Serrault and Ugo Tognazz.
De Veer compared the dynamic between Albin and Renato to a star and its caretaker. Albin, being like a star, is the diva in focus, while Renato, acting as the producer, constantly ensures that Albin doesn’t become unhinged. According to De Veer, the show mirrored this relationship perfectly.
In the schedule provided by HBO, the concluding episode of “The White Lotus” Season 3 is expected to last approximately 90 minutes. This season’s cast includes stars such as Parker Posey, Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, Natasha Rothwell, Dom Hetrakul, Tayme Thapthimthong, Christian Friedel, Julian Kostov, Morgana O’Reilly, Lek Patravadi, Shalini Peiris, Carrie Coon, Scott Glenn, Francesca Corney, Nicholas Duvernay, Arnas Fedaravičius, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Aimee Lou Wood, Sarah Catherine Hook, Sam Nivola and Blackpink member Lisa.
