“There’s something about strings that really emulate human voices,” declares composer Dan Romer about the profound human emotion that string instruments like the cello and violin so often elicit in music. For our recent webchat about his acclaimed original score for “Station Eleven,” he adds that “there’s something about the swell and the shakiness of strings that reminds us of our own voices more than other instruments.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
The HBO Max limited series is set in the aftermath of a fictional catastrophic pandemic that wipes out most of civilization. Romer’s ambitious score features a blend of immersive, ambient synth elements and plucky, percussive strings on the one hand, and then rousing melodies that evoke the series life-affirming core theme — that in the face of the hardship and loss that follows a world-ending catastrophe like a perilous global pandemic, art, music and theater live on and sustain humanity.
