What does the 21st century sound like in movies? Four contemporary film composers
Although the term film auteur generally applies to directors, and the soundtrack is seen as a simple artifice that accompanies and complements the picture, film music takes on more and more sophisticated mutations today - taking this notion at a totally another level compared to how movies used to be made in the past. Therefore, the examples below are not only so evocative and woven into the accompanying images, but most of the time it is enough to listen to them to “re-watch” the movies. And, thus, I avoided the already canonized composers (Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Philip Glass or Ennio Morricone - the list can continue endlessly), the result is a very subjective list of my current preferences.
