The term "mashup" has several meanings, but in the music world, it's used when a song is created by mixing other songs. And that's exactly what we're here to show you today: a fantastic mashup of the intros from Game of Thrones and Westworld, which combines the soundtrack with visuals . The result? Much better than you can probably imagine.
El mushup de Game of Thrones and Westworld
With Game of Thrones just around the corner—remember, it premieres on the 14th of this month (the 15th in Spain)—many artists are taking the opportunity to showcase their creations related to the series. Among them, this one is certainly quite remarkable: a mashup of the intro to Westworld, also an HBO series, mixed with the one from George R.R. Martin's fictional world.
The result is called " Westeros World " and it's a perfect recreation that captures the essence of both television series. Gilles Augustijnen drew inspiration from the work of Brandon Chapman, a composer who created a mashup of the opening themes from both shows. Augustijnen liked the creation so much that he contacted the musician to create a conceptual introduction with visuals that seamlessly blends the two worlds.

As you can see, the production is spectacular , and it could easily pass for something created by HBO as a nod to their hit series. The idea presented in the video is the artificial creation of some of the elements (and even characters) from Game of Thrones using the robotic arms of the Westworld laboratories in a virtually seamless fusion . It almost makes you want to see or imagine what the world of Game of Thrones would look like recreated in the fascinating Westworld park—screenwriters, please take note.
In case you're not familiar with it, Westworld is an HBO science fiction series that premiered in 2016. The concept is based on a 1973 film of the same name, written and directed by Michael Crichton ( Jurassic Park ), which even spawned a sequel, Futureworld , released in 1976. Below you'll find the original opening sequence so you can see what it's like:
Currently, the series has two seasons (the second has lost some of its edge, it must be said) and presents an unspecified future where wealthy people can visit an adult-themed park inspired by the Wild West. There, they can interact with the hosts , humanoids created in the image of humans and programmed to entertain visitors and fulfill their every desire (though they can never harm them, unlike the other way around).
These robots have programmed narratives , but their artificial intelligence allows them to adapt their actions based on how they interact with humans. When the day ends, the hosts are reset and forget everything. Or so everyone thinks.
As for Game of Thrones – the original intro is above – there's little we can tell you that you don't already know. The acclaimed series based on the A Song of Ice and Fire books was brought to the small screen in 2011 and has since enjoyed success after success with each new season, attracting millions of fans worldwide.
