Nolan’s Oppenheimer (Ludwig Göransson)

I just watched this, and I thought the score was mostly brilliant. I really like polyrhythm approach and the swarming, sinewy textures that happen between the synths and the orchestra. Though, there were times where I felt it overpowered the dialog. Perhaps just too high in the mix, especially considering Nolan's refusal to overdub (and for good reason). Anyone else have this problem, or was it just me?
It was 100% mixed too loud - or played too loudly by the theaters. I enjoyed my second viewing at home much more.
 
So apparently my seat was a VIP seat, cause I was sitting next to Hoyte van Hoytema, David Dastmalchian, Steven Yeun, Devon Bostick, Alex Wolff, Childish Gambino, Ludwig’s parents, and Christopher Nolan himself…
 
SO AWESOME @KEM!! :) Did you get to chat with Nolan, or even Ludwig himself?

Also did you meet Daniel Pemberton? I think he was also there!



I didn’t know Daniel was there, I would’ve looked out for him!! Sadly I wasn’t able to speak to Ludwig or Nolan, but I did actually have a very nice conversation with Ludwig’s parents, they were wonderful people
 


I would love for them to release the entire concert as like a live dvd or something like that, I would watch it over and over again. There were a lot of little short cues in there that aren’t on the soundtrack album and you would never notice on them when watching the film
 
I’ve got a really cool piece of info that I was given by someone that works with Ludwig on all his projects. The score for Oppenheimer that we have was actually not the first score written for the film, it was like the fourth one. The original score was very electronic and they had about an hour of music done but that was all scrapped in favor of a completely orchestral score, they then decided to go back to a more electronic score, and finally they settled on the blend that we have on the final score.
