UK composer wins Oscar
NewsBest film score award last night went to Daniel Blumberg for his music for Brady Corbet’s film The Brutalist.
Blumberg, 34, is a former frontman of the rock band, Yuck.
He’s a Londoner who grew up in Stoke Newington and Finchley.
How did he get the sound he wanted?
“The crude example is the prepared piano,” he says. “You’re wedging screws into the strings of the piano, and the hammers hit those strings, so it’s like a cartoon of construction. Hammers and screws making music!”
