Oppenheimer Interview: Ludwig Göransson's First & Last Steps When Composing the Score

To capture the gravity of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan reunited with one of today’s top-notch composers, Ludwig Göransson. Not only was Göransson tasked with creating a theme for Cillian Murphy’s portrayal of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, but he’d need to translate quantum energy to music.

While speaking with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff for the movie’s home release on 4K and digital, Göransson demystifies some of his process when composing for a feature film. Having worked together previously on Tenet, he and Nolan set to work early on in the production, as soon as there was a script, to build a “sound world.” In this particular case, Göransson tells Perri he was inspired by early VFX work shared during an IMAX screening and Nolan's interest in using violins for Oppenheimer’s theme.

Check out this Oppenheimer interview to find out what the final puzzle piece of the score ended up being, how he partnered with editor Jennifer Lame to perfect “Can You Hear the Music,” how he channeled his own emotional experiences into the music, and tons more.
