While starting each adaptation with a 'piano reduction', much as he did when arranging songs as a teen, Djawadi created both a 'big orchestral arrangement' of Nirvana's ' Heart-Shaped Box' for the series' second trailer, before adapting that back down to a slower piano version for a more emotional scene in the episode ' Kiksuya'. The adaptation of Kanye West's ' Runaway' was used in the first trailer for season 2, with cacophonous, discordant sounds overwhelming the piano and strings 'represent how quickly things can fall apart now that the park has gone wrong'. The Rolling Stones' ' Paint It Black' had been used for a heist scene in season 1 and was adapted again, using taiko drums and shakuhachi flutes for a shot-for-shot remake of the heist scene, to show the parallels between Westworld and early-modern Japan-themed Shōgunworld.

Using The White Stripes's ' Seven Nation Army' to introduce The Raj, a British Raj-themed park, and show that it is a Westernized fantasy, Djawadi found it difficult 'to master the intonation', playing the melody on a sitar. With season 2 showing viewers other parks run by Delos, Djawadi was given the opportunity to experiment with South- and East- Asian sounds, for 'The Raj' and 'Shōgunworld'. Having originally come up with the idea of using a player piano to play modern songs, as an allusion to the hosts being machines 'created to evoke human emotion', showrunner Jonathan Nolan chooses songs that relate to the narrative, for Djawadi to adapt, without the composer necessarily knowing the details. Background ĭjawadi has explained that the use of seemingly- anachronistic cover versions is intended as 'a subconscious reminder of the fact that this world is not real'.

Comprising mostly original compositions by Djawadi, the album also includes more cover versions of modern songs, with adaptations of tracks released by Kanye West, The White Stripes, Nirvana, Wu-Tang Clan and Radiohead, plus a second arrangement of The Rolling Stones' ' Paint It Black'.

Released on June 25, 2018, the day after the season finale aired, the album includes 29 pieces composed for the show.
