Unearthing the Haunting Melodies: Robin Carolan's Spellbinding Score for Nosferatu

  • Summary

  • Sarah Driscoll reviews Robin Carolan's haunting new score for Nosferatu (2024) Carolan, who made his film scoring debut with The Northman, has crafted a masterpiece that goes beyond typical horror music. The soundtrack beautifully captures the film's melancholic and tragic elements, drawing inspiration from eclectic sources like The Innocents, Eyes Wide Shut, and even Béla Bartók. What sets this score apart: 60-piece string orchestra 🎻 Full choir 🎶 Ancient horns and pipes 🎺 Custom-built instruments for authenticity 🔨 Carolan's attention to detail is impressive - he even struggled to perfect the sound of a music box, describing the process as "almost telepathic". The result? A rich, atmospheric soundscape that transports you straight to 19th century Transylvania. If you're a fan of gothic ambiance and innovative film scores, Nosferatu's soundtrack is a must-listen. It's not just scary - it's hauntingly beautiful. 🖤 Learn more about your ad choices.
