âMusic that will bring Beethoven to his kneesâWe couldnât pass up the chance to record with BOTH visionary director Robert Eggers and composer Robin Carolan, whose period-horror NOSFERATU released on Christmas Day. (Robert confirms for the record it IS â sort of â a Christmas movie.) This interview done remotely, with Robert and Robin together in the same room in London.How Robertâs breakout film THE WITCH led to a creative partnership with Robin, a UK-based music producer who had never scored a film before. Why he took 6 weeks to agree to take Robertâs Viking epic THE NORTHMAN â and how it proved a trial by fire for his composing career. Robert talks about his history with NOSFERATU going back to high school (once thought of as an imitation of Dracula, but has achieved its own legendary mythological status). How Robert challenged Robin to âbring Beethoven to his kneesâ in the opening scene, and the decision to craft hypnotic âspiralsâ and haunting vocals to keep the danger close even when Nosferatu is not on screen. And why Robertâs films â dripping with rich mythology â extend the traditional orchestral approach into unsettling, aleatoric music and modern sounds that carry the audience in and out of comfort.Interview by Kenny Holmes and Matt Schrader.For exclusive and 4K footage inside studios of your favorite composers, follow Score on YouTube Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X.Check our Vienna Symphonic Libraryâs collection of innovating libraries and samples at vsl.co.at â including their flagship Synchron Series, recorded at Vienna Synchron Stage, where hit films and shows for HBO, Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, Bear McCrearyâs score to Rings of Power on Amazon Prime Video, and many more are recorded.

Oscar-winning composer Volker Bertelmann (CONCLAVE, ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT) explains his unique approach to creating analog textures, themes, and layered complexity. How a church piano led him to a breakout hip hop album in Germany, and then into his own musical experimentation with âprepared pianoâ â including albums and live performances with ping pong balls in pianos.
How his prepared piano techniques create sounds many believe are synths, but are actually recorded sounds carefully crafted. How his collaboration with director Edward Berger has led to a new exploration of sound. And why you should always prepare (even for an Oscars speech!) but be ready to go with the flow of the moment as a musician.
