  • Blumberg spent seven years collaborating closely with director Brady Corbet, using everything from improvisational sessions with avant-garde musicians to Depeche Mode-inspired synths to capture the shifting sounds of 'The Brutalist's story set in the 1970s and 80s.
  • The nearly 2-hour score, which just received a Golden Globe nomination, immerses listeners in the film's themes of power, legacy, and the immigrant experience, mirroring the brutalist architectural style that inspired the movie.
