27 – Andrew Lockington – Scoring Landman and Why AI Won’t Replace Composers

September 11, 2025

Andrew Lockington Interview – This week on Sync Music Matters I’m joined by Canadian composer Andrew Lockington whose music you may have heard recently on shows like Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness and Landman. All shows which were created and directed by Taylor Sheridan 

We delve into the score for Landman, Andrew’s creative process and how a lot of the music was written before any footage has been shot. We also discuss the art of embracing imperfection and how the emotion behind the music is maybe more important than the music itself. Andrew also reveals why he thinks that only 50% of composing is actually about the music.  

Andrew Lockington is best-known for his epic scores to the Warner Bros. blockbusters San Andreas, Rampage and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, which together have surpassed over $1 billion in box office revenues.

Recent and current credits include Netflix’s epic sci-fi feature Atlas starring Jennifer Lopez and several projects with Taylor Sheridan including Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness and Landman.

Andrew is always looking to push the boundaries of film scoring which has led him to recording in exotic locations like jungles of Papua New Guinea, ancient temples in Northern Japan, a volcano in Polynesia and an abandoned subway station beneath central London.
