We chat with InterviewWithTheVampire composer danielmwenda about his work on Immortal_AMC, writing the song “Come to Me” from Lestat to Louis, and the rich musical tapestry of the vampire world:
Warning: SPOILERS for Interview with the Vampire episode 6.The finale of AMC's Interview with the Vampire season 1 is just around the corner, after an exciting episode 6 continued to affirm the vampire Lestat's fascination with, and hold on, Louis de Pointe du Lac. Another point of focus in episode 6 was Lestat's apparent musical talent, as it was revealed that the vampire has written songs for his lovers on numerous occasions.
Daniel Hart: Yes, I think it's about 60% an orchestra in Vienna that we recorded, and then the rest of the time, if there are strings, it's me. The musical tone of this show is so varied, because you have some stuff that's period appropriate, and then you have some very dark, almost Gothic kind of stuff, and there are plenty of modern-day scenes. How did you land on the different tones for the different time periods of the show?
Even in the last episode that aired, there are two versions of a song that Lestat wrote for Louie called "Come to Me". One of the versions is one that he recorded for Louis to try and win him back. This one plays in the episode first, and it's his lover Antoinette singing the main vocal line. Then, there's a version where Lestat is singing the vocal that was supposedly recorded years later.
But I think within my own songwriting, writing stuff for my band, or co-writing stuff for other people, I like a diversity of styles. I like listening to lots of different kinds of music, and I've played lots of different kinds of music in the various bands that I've been in over the years, so I'm always looking for opportunities to do something different. Do something that doesn't feel like me. Try out something new. I mean, it always ends up sounding like me.
I think the response to the song that Sam sang is the most gratifying thing for me, because he doesn't consider himself to be a singer. I think he was a little apprehensive about putting that recording out into the world. I think it sounds amazing. I think his voice sounds like a singer's voice, and [that it's] quite powerful performance. So yes. Very gratifying to see people loving it on social media.
