Hey Ramin!

I had to create an account just for this! I wish more composers would do AMA's!!

I love your work, and love all the leitmotif you use throughout the GoT, I love it when I hear the winterfell theme subtly played, especially during Sansa's snowcastle moment.

My questions are:

How much are you integrating the themes during the show? Or will they integrate in the future? For example, when I hear the 'You Know Nothing' theme for Jon Snow, I can hear the possibility for the 'Winterfell' theme being played over it, we know that Jon has Stark blood, is stuff like that a conscious choice? Are you working to integrate themes together (I'm pretty sure I read somewhere you have read the books so you kinda know where the story is going?)

Also, will we ever hear the complete actual main theme in during the show? We hear variations of it, like the recent episode 'Watchers on the Wall' where we hear a minored rhythmic version of it. Are you saving the main theme for pivotal moments when GoT draws to the final few series?

EDIT: Word

Awesome! Thankyou for replying.

I love the ethnic instruments you include, especially in 'Valar Morghulis'. Can't wait to see the themes you write for Braavosi next season...
