How Thomas Newman Composed the Main Title for 'Feud: Capote vs. The Swans' | Behind the Song
When composer Thomas Newman was approached by Ryan Murphy Productions to work on “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans,” he was told he would work on the main title – while his daughter Julia would write the music for the eight-hour TV broadcast.
“So I got to watch her do her thing and she got to watch me do mine,” Newman said of his daughter on Variety's Artisans Behind the Song, presented by HBO.
He said that in the second volume of Murphy's Feud anthology, he wanted to focus on the idea of swans gossiping on the Upper East Side of New York City.
