Cristobal Tapia de Veer’s White Lotus Season 3 Theme Features a Famous Sample

The composer finds fresh exoticism in familiar samples. Embedded into one of HBO’s most addictive theme tunes ever.

After delivering a full-blown club banger for The White Lotus Season 2, Cristobal Tapia de Veer shifts gears for Season 3 with a more understated, sophisticated take - though it’s still unmistakably his.

The new theme leans into his signature eerie vocal manipulations and warped percussion, but there’s a familiar ghost in the mix: a sample from Burial’s Endorphin, originally sourced from the Silent Hill 3 OST.

Season 3 of The White Lotus is out now.
