It's such a shame that his score for TENET didn't even get nominated for the Best Score Oscar.
But he got oscars for Black Panther tho
@@amanphadke9656 which felt more deserved
@@ThunderBlastvideo ya
The Oscar voters has the opinion and so do I
Ha! It doesn’t need, is too good for the Oscars
I love how he’s done all this great, complex stuff, but then also a perfectly pitched sitcom score in Community
lmao it's him???
@@marcosvalium2712 yes its him
he also did New Girl
@@marcosvalium2712 which is how he met Donald Glover and how he ended up working with him on Awaken, My Love! As well as This Is America :)
Wowwwwwwwwwwww
"and that became part of T'Challa's theme"
*video plays Killmonger's theme*
I was so confused at first
I think it's the order, like song first then explanation
@@ereipalacio8791 yeah I know it was just a bit confusing at first lmao
420 likes, nice
Didn't expect he'd look so young. I imagine all people who create scores as old
He clearly has an incredible skill, I hate using the word talent because I dont believe that even if you do have a talent for something it will make you good if you dont have skill. Talent is what gets you into it, skill is what pushes you to create amazing soundtracks, and he has some incredible skill. Definitly the next Hanz Zimmer, has already worked on Tenet, and The Mandalorian and hes so young.
The mandalorian has one the bests scores I've ever seen in any show. This guy's is really REALLY good
Nerd.
@@pyronixe Very much
That's true and i'm with you on the mandalorian having one of the best scores!! Defenitely Ludwig is a musical genius
Heard
It really is though. I’ve hated everything Star Wars past Return of the Jedi, but man, Mandalorian came along and made me enjoy something Star Wars for the first time in forever. It really had that spirit. And somehow, Ludwig captured a sort of ominous John Williams-esque theme with that beautiful flute motif. He killed it. The one thing I didn’t like about the entire thing was Luke showing up at the end. Just cast a look-alike, CG was too distracting. The Bucky Barnes guy woulda been better honestly. Otherwise 👌🏻
The Tenet soundtrack is honestly one of my favorites of all time. Thank you Ludwig
Agree - it's phenomenal. A soundtrack you can listen to for its own enjoyment, even if you haven't seen the movie. The sound design is incredible.
fantastic for working out
Me too
Thanks a lot ludwig! 🙏✌️
He looks exactly like what someone named Ludwig Göransson would look.
Maybe because he is Ludwig Goransson.
You would know, Andreas Nordvall
But NOT the way I thought a film score producer would look like!
He sounds like Zach Woods
🤯
He should breakdown his wardrobe and secret Abba connection.
Lol🤣🤣
I know Swedish people grow up speaking English, but it still blows my mind how perfect their English is. This is the second video I've watched this week where the Swedish guy in it had almost no accent.
I agree with what you're saying, but he has also lived in US for 16 years. I think that helps in losing some of the accent.
As a swede I still hear the swedish accent clearly
But we don't grow up speaking english.
@@zalkin83 Yeah but Hans Zimmer lives also in Usa for a long time alread, but he still doesnt sound like a native speaker
Honestly this is how most swedes sound when speaking english (at least in younger generations). I think we just grew up consuming so much english media that speaking english is second nature to us. Tbh my english is better than my swedish (native language) :D
Ludwig was snubbed for teneT, a truly brilliant score
It's too "theoritecally" good for mainstream unfortunately :/
The Oscars haven't happened yet mate. But Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will win for Soul anyway, and they deserve it. At least Goransson got a nom
@@romilrh he didn’t get the nom though
Who cares about awards. Only the composers themselves understand their peers
@@romilrh Hasn't happened yet
The way he borrows real sounds and puts them in the scores is amazing.
Reminds me of Looper movie when Nathan did it as well
if you love that i definitely recommend listening to SOPHIE if you don’t already
The legendary Ennio Morricone was actually the first composer to do this back in the 60s, everyone else has been copying him since.
It's called field recording and it's been done since the 1800s by pretty much every film score and every TV series.
@@ibanezman04 😂😂
music is the perfect example of learning the rules so you know how to break them
This guy can do almost anything. Childish Gambino to The Mandolorian. An idol.
Edit: typo❤️
“And idol” 😂😂
Please get a life.
@@grogu411 your over here telling somone to get a life because they made a typo, sounds like your the one who needs to go touch some grass
@@grogu411 lol, the irony
Except for a good Star Wars soundtrack.... (main theme is excused but some of the other stuff was just bad)
the way he did the composition backwards and brought the idea to life. genius
He’s the next generation Hans Zimmer
More interesting than Zimmer, imo.
He's like a Hans Zimmer who knows modern computer production,🤣
@@bens4801 a less stubborn hans zimmer hahaha
Heard his music in Book of Boba fett and start searching his interviews and works. amazing artist new generation we had right now
Constantly impressed by this dude’s mind 🤯🤯 he’s gonna go down in history as one of the best!!
When the seat stated vibrating in rainy night in talin, i knew had made the right choice to see tenet in IMAX
Yes! Always!
Exactly!!
True story - I had a few whole days where I woke up humming the Mandalorian theme and couldn't get it out of my head. I even lost sleep to it!
Bro the drums are ✨saying✨ T’challa... 🤯
This guy also wrote and produced This is America with Childish Gambino
Yeah he produced the majority of Gambino's hit songs lol
@@ol1mar they have been working together sense like 2008
He one of the best Composers right now Up with Williams and Zimmer and all of them
I wanted him to talk about his Community and New Girl scores. 😂
He should've randomly started singing Christmas rap and This is a sad song
Ryan Coogler gave him his start. They met at a party in college when Ludwig just came over to the US to study film composition.
Love how the tenet music has an electronic feel but also the deep tense almost like scratching nails on a chalkboard type feel. And the inversion aspect to it to match the movie
the mandolorian soundtrack is the first soundtrack i have ever listened to like an album or some other playlist. for months now. and you know what? it does NOT get old. my god the music is effing good.
Ludwig talks about Sub frequencies.
Pitchfork cuts any sub frequencies in the soundbites...
And compresses everything to unlistenable noise..
he used a truck as a baseline. now that's pure talent.
Experiment. I love doing these kinda things like using real life sounds more.
vst's are yesterday
the man clearly stopped giving a truck
It’s actually quite a common thing for producers to do, check out Andrew Huang on RUclips, he often pitches down various real life sounds and uses them as baselines
Definitely a fun way to do things. Check the Billy eilish production vids. Her brother does a lot of that.
I just absolutely love people like this. So interesting and talented. So good to hear their thoughts and about the processes behind everything.
This was truly a treat. Thank you for putting this together!
this man is a genius so talented🤯
This is so dope, but I need I need I NEED to know how he made the bass and brass sounds in Posterity and 747...
gah dayum this dude ceases to amaze me...half way through and the genius is just pouring...goodness..I'm learning so much haha
this was so cool i would love even more movie score videos!!!
And next he’ll be scoring Nolan’s Oppenheimer biopic. Looks like the beginning of a partnership.
This was absolutely amazing to hear Ludwig breakdown his stuff👏👏👏👏
He is a vibrational alchemist
I and I know
I still don't understand how his score for TENET didn't get nominated for the Oscars.
Ikr, so weird
for real. people think it's weird when someone listens to movie scores but TENET's unironically banger workout music
i guess its too complex for mainstream Hollywood music
Because the sound mix on this movie is absolutely appalling
Honestly I think everyone took this as a cool lil tid bit about music scores and some creative aspects of himself. but i took it as "if you wanted to get experimental with your regular music then understand human nature and things we're accustomed to"
i loved all the plays on time signature during TENET. there were quite a few
Great video Pitchfork ! Thanks a lot ! Ludvig is such a talented musician, i'm pretty sure that he will be recognised as a legend someday. For me he already is ;)
That es 175 standing beside him is literally an aesthetic
I absolutely adore this guy, he really made tenet sound amazing
was hoping to see some community here
This analysis is beyond amazing, thank you.
i love this man ! i also love the fact ludwig scored community !!! of all tv series !
Started to listen to this artist, in the last few days, and it is inspiring to listen to. Seems to me that how he composes and makes music, is not to be glued all the time in-front of the computer and or to be tied up in a sense with sample libraries , but to use and record instruments into the computer, inventing your own sounds and then putting everything together into the computer.
thank you this was great cut through
He's so much younger than I envisioned to have so much talent...😆😆
This dude is my favorite modern film composer!
This guy is simply amazing.
Can’t forget that dark troopers theme
He is a MASTER on sound design. Legend composer
he is the modern day hans zimmer. truly an artist at the top of the game
He hits *that* Blade Runner note every now and then and when I hear it I just smile
Lud is like the EDM kiddio in a world of classical giants xD
The 9/8 in Trucks In Place is just phenomenal.
The Recorder and The Kazoo are very very very underrated and undervalued instruments
Great creativity
I love how he works with Michael B Jordan films a lot
Thank you so much for this
This is a creative genius.
Who is he and why should I care
@@SDLearmonth he does music for films
He totally used a speedbag as the backing sounds for that track, that's so sick and inspiring.
😊 🙏 😊
thanks for this video.
This man can literally sample a normal sound and make a banger
What a brilliant mind this guy has 👏🎵👏🎵
You are the master piece, im be honor to listen your music and soundtrack, this is the way
My lord this man is talented!
I’m excited to hear Ludwig Goransson’s score in Pixar’s Turning Red!
He best talk about community
Det bästa som kommit ut från Linköping
This is awesome
What he did with The Mandalorian is a masterpiece.
I was hoping he would talk about Community
FINALLY MORE CONTENT OF MY FAVORITE PERSON
Maddd!
That description for the making of the Tenet piece was as confusing as the movie.
It's genius!
Thank you. For me, as a composer, its great ideas for implementation. Cool tips.
He is dressed like a can of Lacroix I love it
This man is his own orchestra
Hes the NEw Hans Zimmer. techniques he uses so similar in motif playing sonic branding himself well
chills
The audio on this video could use a little compression tbh
this dude rocks. and way younger than i thought
If they made a Scott Pilgrim anime based on the comics, the filnscore for it would be gnarly 🤘
Wish he talked about rainy night in tallin
just jesus explaining the best movie scores
And we know he reused the Dora milaje themes in the falcon and the winter soldier
whoa hey avi
Actually Henry Jackman is the composer for Falcon and the Winter Soldier who is also a phenomenal composer behind the Winter Soldier and Civil War themes
@@avischetlin hey
@@ol1mar I know but don’t you hear them Dora Milaje themes in TFATWS? I believe Ludwig Goransson reused his themes.
@@JaimeJaquezTwin You mean to say that Henry Jackman re-used Ludwig's themes for those scenes.
one of the best composers now
Absolutely musical genius!!
i think you should bring hiroyuki sawano on this channel
Wow I didn't know how much I needed this. Ever since his days with Childish Gambino. Look at them both, much proud.
His name is Ludwig for a reason.
Oh hi Faramir, didn’t expect to see you here
In my next life I want to be a genius musical prodigy.
mandalorian one of my fav scores he rly did sum there!
in a field where temp tracks have become far to common place, it's nice to have a talented composer who maintains an organic approach.
After Hans Zimmer I've become fanboy of his music.
This guy is a legend
so Ryan Coogler must really love Ludwig and Michael B Jordan
