The composers for 1917Movie, UsMovie and Joker break down how they shaped sounds of darkness using propulsive rhythms and key instrument choices for each thriller's most unsettling moments
Claudette Barius/Universal Pictures; Niko Tavernise/Warner Bros.; François Duhamel/Universal PicturesThese pros break down how they shaped sounds of darkness using propulsive rhythms and key instrument choices for each thriller's most unsettling moments.
The key, Newman explains, was to make sure the music "never spoke of fear or of tension so much as allowed for fear and tension to come out on their own" — and come out they do, as Schofield and Blake trudge through a dismal French countryside littered with dead bodies, encountering threat after threat.
Abels used a propanium drum — which "sounds like it used to be an oil can back in the day and now it's been turned into a musical instrument," he says — to create a "rhythmic propulsion" that underlays much of the score, in particular the chase scenes in the middle of the film.
