Summary

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Daniel Blumberg, who might, by the time you're listening to this, have picked up a BAFTA for his incredible score to The Brutalist. It's Friday morning as we record this, so who knows what Sunday will bring (or indeed Oscar Night)? Regardless, Daniel has done an extraordinary job of providing the sonic backdrop to what is truly an extraordinary film. Edith was lucky enough to speak to writer / director Brady Corbett and one of his leads, Guy Pearce, a few weeks back, so do listen to that if you haven't already. Both go into great detail about the nuances of Daniel's work. But who better to really dive deep with than the man himself?

0:50.9

atmosphere about it.

0:52.1

And the reason that I'm going into this is because today's guest's score very much does that and is featured on the show.

0:58.7

Does that make sense?

I think it does.
