Ramin Djawadi, a movie and television composer, played the now iconic opening theme of Game of Thrones on a Nintendo Labo, and it was awesome.
The Iranian-German musician is also known for his work on the Westworld, The Strain, Prison Break, Pacific Rim, Iron Man, and many more. He has four Primetime Emmy Awards nominations under his belt and several other awards for his incredible original music.
'Game Of Thrones' On Nintendo Labo
In a new viral video, Djawadi made a fun rendition of his own work using a Nintendo Switch and a Nintendo Labo.
Nintendo Labo, for the uninitiated, is a series of kits released by the video game company that encourages kids to recreate a variety of items such as toy cars, robots, or, in this case, a piano using cardboards. Meanwhile, the Switch is Nintendo's most recent gaming console.
This was not the first time that musicians from across the world have recreated the iconic theme in different styles and often using odd items. There have been covers of the track played by a mariachi band, a metal band, on calculators, and even by using a lead pencil on a piece of paper.
Djawadi is currently on tour as part of the Game of Thrones Concert Experience. The revered composer will lead an orchestra and choir to perform the iconic music from all seven seasons of the popular fantasy series on HBO.
"Bringing the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience to audiences earlier this year was a dream come true, dating back to an idea hatched over three years ago," Djawadi said in a press release via Live Nation. "The scale and spectacle of the production brought the world of Westeros to life in a truly immersive fashion, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to share the experience with fans not only in North America again, but also to cross the narrow sea for the first time and bring the show to Europe."
The next stop of the concert will be at The SSE Arena in London, England on Sunday, May 27. Djawadi and the rest of the performers will also play in venues in Glasgow and Manchester in the next couple of weeks.
'Game of Thrones' Final Season
The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones will not air until next year, HBO has confirmed. According to reports, filming is still ongoing and would extend until this coming summer.
In addition, Emilia Clarke, who plays the role of Daenerys Targaryen on the series, confirmed that the studio is filming multiple endings to prevent spoilers from getting leaked. The Solo: A Star Wars Story star also revealed that even the actors on the set have no idea how the fantasy epic will end.
"I don't know that I even do now," she said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "There's lots of different endings that could happen. I think we're doing all of them and we aren't being told which is actually what's going to happen."
The final season of Game of Thrones will premiere in 2019 on HBO.
