Minimalist Influences
     
by baybeeboomer

If you're a fan of minimalism (though you don't have to be), this music is especially for you. Repetitive rhythms here are infused with lush orchestration and beautiful melodies. Another reviewer heard Philip Glass, which I detected only in some of the rhythms. But the orchestrations here reminded me more of works by John Adams. I heard nods to at least three Adams pieces: "Century Rolls", "Naive & Sentimental Music", and "Tromba Lontana". Regardless, this music is wonderful on it's own terms: dreamy, contemplative, great for pre-dawn hours or a cloudy day. Enjoy!

exquisitly done

So original, eerie, creative and beautiful.
     
by JulianWantsACupcake

Desplat has written some exquisitely beautiful music in the few years that he's been on the movie-scoring scene. This score, although still exquisitely beautiful, sets new boundaries for creativity. The ideas here are so fresh and so different, yet still beautiful, that the thought of "where did he come up with these ideas?" just makes my head spin. Wonderful score, worth the full download. You'll find yourself listening to it over and over again.
