The 100 composer Tree Adams chats to Hype Podcast about scoring season 4 of the CW series. We’re excited to welcome Tree Adams onto the podcast for a long overdue, in-depth chat about his process of scoring music for The 100! Adams joined the show last season and created some absolutely beautiful themes including the “Clexa,” “Bellarke” and “Murphy and Emori Grifter” themes, and we can’t wait to hear what he’s got planned for season 4. This interview spans everything from his process to reflections on individual character themes, a few teasers for themes we can expect on The 100 season 4 soundtrack — if we get one! — and discussions on the origin of Grounder music and what an apocalypse actually sounds like. The 100 fans will definitely get a kick out of listening to Tree Adams talk about his work on the show, and his genuine passion for the story and world he is a part of creating. Enjoy!
