Says Morris: “Being asked to contribute to Castlevania was such a great call to get. As a composer it’s just a cool, colorful and interesting world to get into, and provides endless inspiration for music. It was just such a fun and cool project to work on, I could score Castlevania for years and years”
Says Warren Ellis: “Trevor is a master of his art: hugely innovative, yet with a deep understanding of early music, combined with a love of electronics, creating something weirdly primal but completely contemporary.”
Castlevania is Executive Produced by Warren Ellis, Kevin Kolde, Adi Shankar, Fred Seibert, and Ted Biaselli and Larry Tanz for Netflix. Production services are provided by Austin, Texas based Powerhouse Animation with Brad Graeber Supervising Producer, Jason Williams as Producer, and Sam Deats as Director.
