@@OrigamiCL That is not "the" definition of talent. You can use that word like that, but you may will musunderstand some people. They do not use "talent" with that meaning :)
This song feels like a chain reaction, the tempo gradually increasing feels like the atoms splitting and releasing neutrons, which split more atoms, releasing more neutrons and so on. Perfect for this movie and a delight to listen to.
@@moshambles Yea, they really ruined it with the intensity. I legit felt like I was having a panic attack in the film and almost walked out. But if you listen to it isolated at a reasonable volume the score is pretty incredible. But that's not surprising, it's Ludwig after all, he doesn't really miss.
I thought the music was great but considering that the movie was boring as hell and 90% just people talking or shouting - the music was over the top dramatic and completely out of place
@@RealEllenDeGeneres One of the most intense and powerful moments at a singular point humanity has ever seen. The music reflects that, for better or worse.
Played a huge part in making the movie work. More so than any Nolan film and that's saying something because that's a characteristic of every Nolan film in recent memory.
You have to be able to appreciate Nolan for what could otherwise be completely overlooked: the fact that he puts 100% trust in the composer to do their work. No expectation, other than one suggestion- faith in the artist’s expression and that’s that.
Hi mate please put me on a song I can play guitar pretty well and everything else pretty badly but yano I'm cool Edit: also tell Billie KH from RUclips says wuddup.
It's the score of the year. It has to win the Oscar. The music is as important to the film as John Williams' music was for Star Wars or ET. You cannot imagine the film without it.
If the voters appreciated cinema and were tired of all these superhero movies they’d give it all the Oscar’s because Nolan single-handedly reminded everyone how a true cinematic experience must be and fealt
@@kavid8120what are you on about? I can't remember the last time a big budget superhero film won anything besides best vfx or something. For the last few years more often than not the important categories have gone to small budget indie flicks. (Which is a good thing)
I dont know if people who arent super familiar with playing and recording an instrument understand how insane this score is for live musicians. This is really a one-of-a-kind score.
I don't think I could do it. I'm not a professional musician or anything but have been playing music in one form or another for 30 years and I can't imagine how much concentration and practice this required
Serena also deserves an oscar, from what he states she also spent hours trying to figure out the melody and that metronome idea was genius for the violinists to play the piece
Even though it's more intense than interstellar, each has a different part. Interstellar makes you lost into space and this music makes you feel everything intense. Both are blessings to the ears. Lucky to hear such a beauty of music. That's why I am a fan of classical, no one can come close to it.
As an aspiring composer, I love the fact that we actually get a glimpse inside some of his DAW projects for this movie, it's so kind of him and really inspiring. Also, he gave some really great tips throughout the video. Fantastic soundtrack!
@@jaredsilvers2782 for making beats and such yes, but not really for recordings. (Latency problems, CPU Overload, can't apply more than one fade at a time) I'm using Ableton in all my videos but I know I'd record it with a different DAW
@@tom7131 I hear you. But I'm kinda at the beginning of my journey in this field, so for me personally, especially in the context of this video, saying I'm a composer sounds a bit arrogant.
Music aside, I love how Göransson communicates his process. There’s an easy warmth and passion to his delivery. Everything is directly stated while also conveying total emotional clarity. His hand communication expresses those ideas even more clearly without being any kind of distraction. I say all this, because I really hope he does some teaching or at least some serious mentoring at some point (if he hasn’t already). He’d be the kind of music teacher you couldn’t help but learn from. Learning theory from him would be a joy. Musically speaking, this score is such an incredible achievement. It’s chilling, triumphant and even frightening at times. It inspires constant anticipation in the audience and surrounds them in wonder and awe. It gives such immense gravitas to the film. What a talent! And those violinists! Bravo!
that tempo change giving mad goosebumps. so inspiring and its clear why the best are the best, they care so deeply about perfecting the intent and execution. so much to learn for aspiring musicians!
6:26 This is the sound of T E N E T. My first time watching OPPENHEIMER I knew immediately where the inspiration came from. A great partnership indeed.
This guy is so down to earth. If i had written such a masterpiece i would have cried my ass off explaining how i did it. Now i see why Nolan put his faith in him.
3:57 This is a vary sad sound. It feels like the violin is struggling to breathe on its own. Inhaling and exhaling as it tries to continue to live but not realizing that those are actually its final breaths... Dude is a great producer.
It’s hard to explain but I find certain instruments you can just hear them crying - it’s like the emotion is coming out , I really heard it in this certain part of song. I found myself crying when I listened to the sound track at home after watching the film - it was just that beautiful - Ludwig is definitely getting that oscar for his music !
@@edgarleft American Prometheus and I don’t know the specific scenes but there’s usually music all in most of Nolan’s scenes so I’d say it was playing quite a few times throughout the film
You can actually see that track says "No Rosin." Rosin is a sticky wax that is applied to a violin's bow strings. With no rosin, you get that airy/low friction sound that causes it to feel like it is "struggling to breathe" as you say. I think it's brilliant.
When Ludwig says he came away from reading the script with a feeling of loneliness, I felt that. The resulting melody used as Oppenheimer's theme PERFECTLY encapsulates that feeling. "Can you hear the music" has rightfully taken its place as the highlight of the film but the more somber moments in the score are just as emotional and impressive in their own right.
One of the best interviews I have ever listened to. Someone who is really brilliant at what he does explaining in a step wise fashion how he created great work
That portion of the film, both audio and visual, was so beautiful and powerful that I actually shed tears. Probably the single most memorable cinematic experience of my life.
watching this on 70mm IMAX screen with unbelievable sound system, this montage was truly a transporting experience. My senses were completely overwhelmed in the best way cinema can offer and why I love it so much.
For some reason I'm focussed on my best listening to this soundtrack. Not only does it transport the learning experience and the emotions from the film, but it also reasonates and pushes me into performing to the best I'm capable of. This score made me understand there is so much practical value in music for everyone, it can literally be used to improve your life.
Literally cried in the cinemas seeing that scene the emotional strain hit me as someone who has autism and sees the world in a different way it was like finally a understanding on a struggle even though it has nothing to do with that
Ludwig is always generous with insight, his breakdowns from Childish Gambino's Redbone to Nolan's Oppenheimer. Always shows his love for the process. Such an inspiration!
I remember having chills on my spine when I first saw this scene in the cinema, the particles mixed with the music were the highlight of the whole movie for me. Hearing now how this guy created this makes it even more impressive, even more if we take into account the live musicians having to keep playing at a certain tempo while the click track marks the following tempo change. Insane!!
Honestly, no. What he's done here isn't above something a first year music theory student could muster. The music is actually almost laughably simple when in context of your comment. The music is effective and supports the film, no arguing that - and if the director was happy, it's a good score - but it's not complicated or anywhere near the work a master of the craft could muster. The real craftwork in a score like this is in the production and use of a DAW more than the craft of the notes themselves.
Watching DUNE I didn’t think something could surpass that Score in the next couple of years and it only took 2 for Oppenheimer and Ludwig to give us something even more spectacular (imo) I’m obsessed with this
I wanna see more composers give walk-throughs on their DAWs, that was excellent. Also inspiring that even large Hollywood composers just go with the default track names sometimes
No, it really is not. Tempo changes are something every orchestra musician has learned to adapt to. This is happening all the time in romantic and modern music.
Ludwig Goransson is a new age of genius. The score in this film inspires, yet deserts us in a vast field of empty--- devoid of anything of substance or of nature. It's absolutely wonderful.
I swear, this score matches the movie's tone so fantastically well! I've watched Oppenheimer like 6 times now, and it still baffles me how ingenious it was that Nolan made Ludwig's melancholic score nestle so seamlessly. It's not often that a movie and its score are fitted to each other with this level of fidelity.
Was at the premiere in London and Ludwig sat in and watched the film with us. Was surreal to watch the film for the first time with this legend in the room.
When i heard Can You Hear The Music in the cinema, i got shivers and i was so taken up in the music and the moment. One of the most moving pieces of music i have ever heard. Its so incredibly powerful and in combination with the absolutely gorgeous scene it is one of the most special moments in cinema.
This is the new score genius of our time. It doesn't happen often. Another reason to love to be alive: watching this guy develop his craft over the rest of my life.
Something about this instantly brought me to tears. So much talent and brilliance and beauty in the world of music. So sad that it’s often overlooked. His team did an amazing job in putting this together. Amazing musicians
How music overlooked? Dude u serious ?!😂😂 Music been out since forever . Of all types of music lol in film , games, etc ....even rap beats , music videos , u saying its overlooked?
Absolute addicted to this OST. 'Groves', 'Gravity Swallows Light', 'Quantum Mechanics' are my favourites but literally every single track of the film is a masterpiece, the way he could express emotions through the musics completely correlates with the movie scenes This and Hans Zimmer's Interstellar OST are right up there in the life changing soundtracks, they really make you feel all sorts of emotions whenever you listen to them
@@user_28373 Hi. Nice to salute you. Just in case of anyone reading our comments, I wrote that comment because there are always those who believe that Ludwig Göranson learned film score and music production from tutorials on youtube.
What a talent! His ability to interpret the movie script, and create the musical score from that is spot on. Who knew you could turn science and math into music like this. And he is so right when he says, you get swept away in the feeling of the music rather than the musical notes. Amazing interview!
Being a fellow producer myself and miles away from what this brilliant man has accomplished, I can firmly say that Ludwig's work is phenomenal on so many levels. I first really paid attention to his productions and compositions when I watched Tenet. The kind of tension this man can create and seamlessly move around different tones of emotion is highly impressive and inspirational to say the least. What he did with this score in Oppenheimer is tremendous and it motivates me to work on my craft on a daily basis. Thank you Mr. Göransson for sharing your talent and gifting us these musical treats!
It's not just the fact that someone can fathom something like "Can You Hear the Music" in the first place-for me it’s the fact that the violin motif mentioned in the beginning is prevalent throughout the entire score. It's a beautiful coherence that matches the tone of the film quite well. Truly one of THE best scores I've heard in a long time (movie wasn't too shabby either haha)!
Wow i love watching competent people do things competently, there something so emotional and chilling about it, what people can do, and even better when they come together
The analogy at 7:40 is brilliant. The increasing speed of the music representing a skill that is being mastered. Whenever I practice a song; I start slow like he says, but once you get the hang of it you can go full speed ahead. I just thought that was a really creative way to embody Oppenheimer since the piece is playing while Oppy is learning and running experiments in his apartment.
Interviews like this really important to the music world. Specially to people like us who want to create something yet dont feel like or know what to do sometimes or feel lost may be. But these insights really gives us motivation and much needed encouragement along with different ways to create what we love.. Music..
That addition adds such depth and perfectly encapsulates the feeling of danger. I have no knowledge of how music is composed. The first time I noticed this song was from one of those videos visualizing Pi. I had watched Oppenheimer but I guess I didn’t notice it then. And I fell in love. Listening to Ludwig about he wanted the song to be full of wonder and curiosity and have that element of danger and loneliness - it really blew my mind. You can perfectly see these emotions represented in the piece! Amazing work 💕
As a classical musician that started writing with kontakt instruments a few years ago.. wow. Love every little detail you included in this interview. I’m gonna be sitting on this one for a while.
in every major film by Nolan always has that music that gives you goosebumps, first Interstellar (Corn Field Chase) , then Oppenheimer (Can You Hear The Music)
I wonder if the editor for this video realized they accidentally used HDR clips from Oppenheimer on this video, if you’re wondering why it’s so dark whenever they show footage from the movie
Ill never forget sitting in my imax theater while this unbelievable work of art plays during the “can you hear the music” montage and my body going ice cold with chills and by the end turning to my mom and saying, “that’s winning the Oscar no question”
He has to win the Oscar. No disrespect to the other nominees, but the Oppenheimer score has already become so recognisable and a bit of a classic. I've seen a ton of Oppenheimer-related RUclips shorts or Instagram reels, and the music is playing in the background. Out of the other nominees for Best Original Score, I've also seen Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon, but I don't really remember what their scores sounded like. The Oppenheimer one is instantly recognisable. It really captures the essence of the movie.
As a musician the click sounds would have threw me off while playing but they are definitely a game changer😂 Such a great Soundtrack, Göransson will for sure win the Oscar!
7:24 His description of trying to learn a difficult passage of music by steadily upping the metronome should resonate powerfully with any musician who has spent hours in the practice room. It makes me feel even more connected to his music.
I don’t know any other way to describe this but as pure magic 🪄✨ this music made the entire movie cohesive for me and gave me chills every single time. Thank you for the immense amount of detail and effort, every bit of it was felt. Pure bliss

@@STEM2049 Oh please, just because you're scoring major pictures that are successful doesn't mean you're "better" than anyone else, only beyond the fact that you're "better connected." A lot of it are luck. While his score compliments the movie well, I've heard far better execution of the orchestral craft in indie film competitions by people you and I have never heard of, and probably never will hear of. That's just the way the world works

Was at the premiere in London and Ludwig sat in and watched the film with us. Was surreal to watch the film for the first time with this legend in the room.
Yo that’s awesome
Yea man that's so lucky. You will remember it lifelong.
Incoming 2nd OSCAR!
Absolutely
Pemberton I reckon
@@CharlieFisherMusic He got snubbed
@@CharlieFisherMusic I would be astounded if Ludwig lost to a guy who isn't nominated...
@@ClassicalMusic2002 I actually can’t fathom how he didn’t get nominated
Incredibly innovative writing and engineer as well - that pre-bar click change is genius
*Hard work cannot be expressed in a few lines* 🚀👑
When i heard Can You Hear The Music in the cinema, i got shivers and i was so taken up in the music and the moment. One of the most moving pieces of music i have ever heard. Its so incredibly powerful and in combination with the absolutely gorgeous scene it is one of the most special moments in cinema.
It's truly incredible what they did with the score for this movie. Everytime I hear it, I have a visceral reaction to it.
This was such an amazing dive into Ludwig's process. Please make lots of these videos.
This is the new score genius of our time. It doesn't happen often. Another reason to love to be alive: watching this guy develop his craft over the rest of my life.
Something about this instantly brought me to tears. So much talent and brilliance and beauty in the world of music. So sad that it’s often overlooked. His team did an amazing job in putting this together. Amazing musicians
How music overlooked? Dude u serious ?!😂😂 Music been out since forever . Of all types of music lol in film , games, etc ....even rap beats , music videos , u saying its overlooked?
People have different taste in music !! Many like this type of music and orhers could careless ...
The lack of common sense is crazy
Ludwig Goransson doesn't realise that he's just composed a score that will be a considered a masterpiece for at least a century!
Give this man an oscar for the most memorable score of last 10 years
W picture

The more I get to see Ludwig Göransson, the mesmerized I feel
Absolute addicted to this OST. 'Groves', 'Gravity Swallows Light', 'Quantum Mechanics' are my favourites but literally every single track of the film is a masterpiece, the way he could express emotions through the musics completely correlates with the movie scenes
This and Hans Zimmer's Interstellar OST are right up there in the life changing soundtracks, they really make you feel all sorts of emotions whenever you listen to them
Groves is my fav
@@RB-.- 'Groves' slowed with reverb makes it even better for me
Groves is my favorite as well! I don't know what it is about it that has me so drawn to it. It's constantly in my rotation.
I've listened to quantum mechanics on a weekly basis since I first saw the movie.
Hans Zimmer's best score is from The Thin Red Line
Fabulous video! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your art and gift. True genius. You are an inspiration
He studied a lot (since he was a teen). That's why he knows what he's doing.
I mean yeah
@@user_28373 Hi. Nice to salute you.
Just in case of anyone reading our comments, I wrote that comment because there are always those who believe that Ludwig Göranson learned film score and music production from tutorials on youtube.
Sort of .not always ...im good photographer. No school . Learn the ins and out ..by analyzing. Born it.
He didn’t need to study since he was a teen. That’s not special. He just needed the practice, hours put in and having an ear for music
@@マシュードーラン He said it himself in many interviews.
What a talent! His ability to interpret the movie script, and create the musical score from that is spot on. Who knew you could turn science and math into music like this. And he is so right when he says, you get swept away in the feeling of the music rather than the musical notes. Amazing interview!
I could try look at a image and create song. .. nobody can think like that . Its born given talent of the mind ! Feelings , intuition,
This was so special to me, understanding all the patterns behind the piece explained by him directly!
Well done to Ludwig for just signing onto the project. Absolute kudos for nailing it!
9:26 The smooth transition to the official track gives me goosebumps.
Being a fellow producer myself and miles away from what this brilliant man has accomplished, I can firmly say that Ludwig's work is phenomenal on so many levels. I first really paid attention to his productions and compositions when I watched Tenet. The kind of tension this man can create and seamlessly move around different tones of emotion is highly impressive and inspirational to say the least. What he did with this score in Oppenheimer is tremendous and it motivates me to work on my craft on a daily basis. Thank you Mr. Göransson for sharing your talent and gifting us these musical treats!
absolutely insane how frequently the tempo shifts and yet it’s still locked in. what a brilliant use of metric modulation.
It's not just the fact that someone can fathom something like "Can You Hear the Music" in the first place-for me it’s the fact that the violin motif mentioned in the beginning is prevalent throughout the entire score. It's a beautiful coherence that matches the tone of the film quite well. Truly one of THE best scores I've heard in a long time (movie wasn't too shabby either haha)!
He did this with the Creed soundtrack as well. Melody played both in quiet moments and the triumphant moments
He deserves this year´s Oscar. Wonderful music score!
Wow i love watching competent people do things competently, there something so emotional and chilling about it, what people can do, and even better when they come together
The analogy at 7:40 is brilliant. The increasing speed of the music representing a skill that is being mastered. Whenever I practice a song; I start slow like he says, but once you get the hang of it you can go full speed ahead. I just thought that was a really creative way to embody Oppenheimer since the piece is playing while Oppy is learning and running experiments in his apartment.
Interviews like this really important to the music world. Specially to people like us who want to create something yet dont feel like or know what to do sometimes or feel lost may be. But these insights really gives us motivation and much needed encouragement along with different ways to create what we love.. Music..
Already loved Ludwigs work in Tenet and Wakanda Forever and Oppenheimer is another absolute classic! My favorite composer of all time.
The complexity of a masterful soundtrack like this is absolutely insane! Lugwig Goransson, you're an absolute LEGEND❤
That addition adds such depth and perfectly encapsulates the feeling of danger.
I have no knowledge of how music is composed. The first time I noticed this song was from one of those videos visualizing Pi. I had watched Oppenheimer but I guess I didn’t notice it then. And I fell in love. Listening to Ludwig about he wanted the song to be full of wonder and curiosity and have that element of danger and loneliness - it really blew my mind. You can perfectly see these emotions represented in the piece! Amazing work 💕
WOW! THIS IS CRAZY, AMAZING, THE COMPLEXITY AND THE EMOTION AT THE SAME TIME IS INCREDIBLE!
One of the best scores of all time.
Its very very annoying music, the structure and the build is something very uncomfortable to listen to!!!!
@@mastour722 You are proof that opinions exist.
He's an absolute genius! I'm glad he's young as we'll have him for a while.
you jinxed it … rip ludwig
@@1saamor897what
As a classical musician that started writing with kontakt instruments a few years ago.. wow. Love every little detail you included in this interview. I’m gonna be sitting on this one for a while.
He commented on it at the end but I'm still kinda amazed how simple his arrangements are. It's inspiring to see what can be done with a few tracks.
in every major film by Nolan always has that music that gives you goosebumps, first Interstellar (Corn Field Chase) , then Oppenheimer (Can You Hear The Music)
6:20
This, This is the sound of goosebumps and tears in the eyes
it takes the seond viewing of the movie to understand that it is music that carries the story and sets the perfect rhythm.
I wonder if the editor for this video realized they accidentally used HDR clips from Oppenheimer on this video, if you’re wondering why it’s so dark whenever they show footage from the movie
I love how we have so many brilliant composers in our day so willing to teach the world how they work.
Thank you Ludwig!
Ill never forget sitting in my imax theater while this unbelievable work of art plays during the “can you hear the music” montage and my body going ice cold with chills and by the end turning to my mom and saying, “that’s winning the Oscar no question”
He has to win the Oscar. No disrespect to the other nominees, but the Oppenheimer score has already become so recognisable and a bit of a classic.
I've seen a ton of Oppenheimer-related RUclips shorts or Instagram reels, and the music is playing in the background.
Out of the other nominees for Best Original Score, I've also seen Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon, but I don't really remember what their scores sounded like. The Oppenheimer one is instantly recognisable. It really captures the essence of the movie.
Do yourself a favor and listen to the Poor Things score. It's quite good.
@@KUROHiTO88Amazing score
@@KUROHiTO88how good
@@jackthecommenter2768
Quite.
Yes! Absolutely well deserved 🥰
As a musician the click sounds would have threw me off while playing but they are definitely a game changer😂 Such a great Soundtrack, Göransson will for sure win the Oscar!
7:24 His description of trying to learn a difficult passage of music by steadily upping the metronome should resonate powerfully with any musician who has spent hours in the practice room. It makes me feel even more connected to his music.
I don’t know any other way to describe this but as pure magic 🪄✨ this music made the entire movie cohesive for me and gave me chills every single time. Thank you for the immense amount of detail and effort, every bit of it was felt. Pure bliss
Nice to watch a film-score composer who really emphasizes the value of the emotions of live music. That's what lifts music to the top level.
This man is a musical genius. On my top 3 favorite composers
Honestly, no. What he's done here isn't above something a first year music theory student could muster. The music is actually almost laughably simple when in context of your comment. The music is effective and supports the film, no arguing that - and if the director was happy, it's a good score - but it's not complicated or anywhere near the work a master of the craft could muster. The real craftwork in a score like this is in the production and use of a DAW more than the craft of the notes themselves.
@ you must be a better composer then right? 🤡
@@STEM2049 Oh please, just because you're scoring major pictures that are successful doesn't mean you're "better" than anyone else, only beyond the fact that you're "better connected." A lot of it are luck. While his score compliments the movie well, I've heard far better execution of the orchestral craft in indie film competitions by people you and I have never heard of, and probably never will hear of. That's just the way the world works
11:30 is crazy! Professional musicains are something else
Yeah that is insane i'm playing the violin i'm not pro it's just a hobby but i could not play that, it's crazy
That’s just sample and arpeggiator plugin with midi keyboard. Not audio record.
