    Ludwig Göransson Scores 'The Odyssey' with Ancient Sounds

    “Composer Ludwig Göransson has joined forces with Christopher Nolan for the third time to create the score for 'The Odyssey.' Known for his work on 'Tenet' and 'Oppenheimer,' Göransson is taking a new approach for this project. While his recent work on 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' featured heavy synths and guitars, 'The Odyssey' sees him exploring ancient Greek instruments and unconventional materials. Nolan reportedly gave specific instructions to avoid modern sounds, pushing Göransson to experiment with scrap metals, gongs, and other unique tools to craft an authentic auditory experience. This creative shift highlights the composer's versatility and willingness to adapt to the director's vision.”
