Atticus Ross and Nick Chuba, composers for 'Shōgun,' discussed their approach to incorporating music from Feudal Japan for the FX series during Deadline's Sound & Screen Television event. Inspired by James Clavell’s novel set in 1600s Japan, the duo aimed to blend traditional and modern sounds, collaborating with musician Taro Ishida on imperial court music. By experimenting with a mix of new and archaic instruments, their goal was to create a unique musical landscape that resonates emotionally with the characters and viewers.
