Academy Award®-winning composer Ludwig Göransson returns to the Dolby Institute Podcast to discuss his 2024 Academy Award-nominated score for auteur filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s latest film, with guest host Jon Burlingame. They discuss the composer’s process which, on this film, was anything but traditional, including why he composed over three hours of music before principal photography even began.
“But then the real job begins when [Christopher Nolan] comes back and he goes into the edit bay and he sits there with [picture editor] Jennifer Lame and they start putting together the movie. And they put together the scenes. And they already put my music in those scenes, from what we’d already written. So when I see the first cut it already has all my music in it.”
-Ludwig Göransson, Composer, “Oppenheimer”

@@lazysaysoIt'll be two years. I'm currently rooting for Ludwig but Dune 2 has the potential to be something extremely special too. If Hans does pull out something worthy I would accept him winning again. But it will take more than being better than the Oppy score for them to give Hans the Oscar again. It would need to be Hans' best score of his career, which the storyline of the book can easily give him the chance to do. There's some huge emotion in there.

I am not a movie person so the hype around Oppenheimer or Barrie for that matter didn’t affect me. But one fine day I randomly downloaded the Oppenheimer soundtrack on Spotify and OH MY GOD!! It’s so good I cried a few times. That’s when I decided I wanted to see the movie in imax to experience the soundtrack. I find it very meditative and definitely calms me down right before going to sleep. Great job!!

I love the destroyer of worlds theme…when I was watching the last scene between Oppie and Einstein in the theater, I just made a mental note that I have to check the soundtrack and download this first…it starts out like a lovely romantic kind of score and halfway down the line it changes into a haunting ballad describing the mental state of Oppenheimer at the end of the movie.

@@virtuallysarvad yes! Only the "streaming version" of the soundtrack is available in dolby atmos. The theatrical one is a classic 6 track mix that's the only audio mix that's compatible with 70mm and IMAX film. They didn't do a different mix for digital formats to make sure the audience has the same audio experience everywhere I suppose.

What percussion sound is being made during the first minute of "Manhatten Project" (starts 25 seconds in until about 40 seconds)? It sounds like it could be a bass drum or timpani, but he said that none of those were used in the score ( 20:50 ). I'm curious what was used to make this sound!

3:37 Ofcourse violin is a very expressive instrument. Hans Zimmer used Cellos and Violins to create Joker's Theme music in Dark Knight. Those sounds accurately describes the character of Joker. Hans Zimmer once said in an interview that some blades are placed below the violin strings to get a high pitched whining sound. That high pitched sound depicts the painful past of Joker and the pitch of the violin sounds increases gradually which shows the pain getting transformed to anger and rage.

@665Iron 9 ай бұрын

@@craftedpixel I loved the soundtrack, but I honestly would have preferred to have no music at all in most dialogue scenes. Mainly the ones inside the private court room. I honestly think these are already important enough to catch the audience atenttion, but they leave them instead. As if they thought people would start sleeping in those so they decided to put music in there. But I have to watch it again just to compare it to Tenet. I recently watched and I get some people are hard to understand, but they don't tell anything important, is just ambiance sound to actually capture what the characters are actually listening or observing. When Neil goes to the free port and decides to observe rather than listening, plus we already know the dangers of hijacking an airport, we don't to pay attention to that guy. But I guess is my perception

@rsr789 10 ай бұрын

Ditto. I also watched it in 15/70mm IMAX: thundering music over dialogue makes the dialogue almost unintelligible; this is a universal complaint about the movie. IDK WTF Nolan was thinking.

@HEAVYHEARTSMUSIC 10 ай бұрын

It's intentional. Nolan doesn't like to ADR. Although I felt the dialogue in this was much much more legible compared to something like Tenet for example, other than the scenes where tension is building and it is apparent that discerning the dialogue is not the intention of the scene.
