Benji Merrison, Will Slater - Puma: A Dynasties Special (Original Television Soundtrack) (2024)

Composers BENJI MERRISON and WILL SLATER return to the worlds of the DAVID ATTENBOROUGH hosted DYNASTIES.

Puma
In the highlands of Patagonia, a solitary puma named Rupestre battles to raise her four cubs.
Benji and Will’s approach was inspired by the story backdrops -
“The score for Puma was borne out of the landscape itself. Patagonia’s stark, remote beauty provided the perfect backdrop, shaping music that needed to reflect both the majesty of the environment and the harsh realities of survival. Our aim was to create a sound that felt both intimate and expansive—a delicate balance between the tenderness of the Rupestre with her cubs and the intense drama of her struggle to provide for them.
The music had to capture the tension, resilience, and fragility of life in the wild without overshadowing the breathtaking setting or natural soundscape. We focused on crafting something sparse and organic, allowing the score to evolve naturally alongside the puma’s experiences. Whether through motifs inspired by the natural sounds of the environment or more dramatic orchestral moments, we wanted the music to draw viewers deeper into Rupestre’s world, making it as much a part of her landscape as the wind and the mountains.”
