Keeping Score with Sonya Belousova & Giona Ostinelli (The Witcher)

Sonya Belousova & Giona Ostinelli are the featured guests on our Keeping Score podcast, produced and hosted by Crossover Media’s Max Horowitz. The duo reveals to us what it was like creating the score, collaborating with other artists, and writing some of the epic songs that are heard throughout the series. Listen to the podcast

Of the soundtrack, composers SONYA BELOUSOVA and GIONA OSTINELLI say, “The best part of scoring The Witcher is the constant stream of unlimited creative opportunities this unique and vast universe provides. We wrote and produced songs, folk tunes, dances, and score, collaborated with virtuoso soloists and phenomenal artists, recorded unique historical instruments, many of which were crafted specifically for The Witcher, as well as personally performed and recorded over 60 instruments in order to create over 8 hours of an exciting original soundtrack.”

The Witcher tells the story of Geralt of Rivia, a mutated monster-hunter for hire, as he journeys toward his destiny in a turbulent world where people often prove more wicked than beasts.
