Composer Sam Ewing talks season 10 of AMC’s The Walking Dead

How would you describe the score for Season 10 of The Walking Dead?

Raw, rustic and organic, if I had to pick a few words. The palette and voice of the score are a continuation of what Bear and showrunner, Angela Kang, established in season 9. It’s a bit of a throwback to the earlier seasons of TWD where you’d hear violin solos, guitars and small string ensembles. The score is kind of devolving into its organic and acoustic roots, much like the characters of the show have resorted to using windmills, waterwheels and horses.
