WaterTower Music has announced release of composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer's The White Lotus (Soundtrack From The HBO Original Limited Series), which features music from the new six-episode HBO limited series The White Lotus, a social satire set at an exclusive Hawaiian resort, and follows the vacations of various hotel guests over the span of a week as they relax and rejuvenate in paradise.

With each passing day at The White Lotus, a darker complexity emerges in the picture-perfect travelers, the hotel's cheerful employees, and the idyllic locale itself.

The show premiered, July 11, 2021 on HBO.

De Veer, who has been called a 'musical genius' by Paste Magazine, has created a robust 28-track score that The Hollywood Reporter called 'spectacularly percussive and primal…' that 'takes hold and doesn't let go' of viewers.
He described working on the White Lotus soundtrack:
'Mike White asked me for a sound that is 'bubbling' under the characters, as if something was about to pop up and burst at any moment.
We spoke about a mysterious Hawaiian Hitchcock type of sound. I ended up screaming like a monkey into native flutes and bashing on tribal percussions with human bones, while things like charangos and soulful choirs completed the sound of the score, evacuating the full range of the characters, from the most brutal and chaotic instincts to moments of true and simple honesty.'

Stick with it for the performances, for the golden-hued Hawaii visuals, because de Veer’s music takes hold and doesn’t let go, and for the flagellation of that part of yourself that deserves a good mocking.
For all of the soapy misadventures in the foreground — driven by the spectacularly percussive and primal score from Cristobal Tapia de Veer — lingering in the background is the Enlightened-esque quandary of what it takes to be happy if simply being rich is no longer enough.
( - The Hollywood Reporter - )

The White Lotus hotel, an anxious claustrophobia quickly sets in. To the tune of Cristobal Tapia de Veer’s unsettling score, White’s swooping camera frequently plunges in and out of the crashing ocean to settle on someone slowly splintering under the pressure of keeping themselves together. In these moments, it’s hard not to feel a swell of seasick sympathy, disgust or dread for what’s yet to come.
