Bird Box (Abridged)
January 16, 2019 8:29 PM Subscribe
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross scored the Netflix film Bird Box, and they've done a digital release of an abridged score available now. A full score on physical product will be available later. For now, they've put the track Outside on YouTube for everyone.
Came here to say the same. Note 2: Oh, hi Trent!

Btw, I love this because I can’t listen to lyrics when I write, so their soundtracks get a lot of play from me. Glad to add a new one to the rotation! Thanks for the post!

I think Reznor proved his soundtrack chops all the way back in Quake.

It just starts with a few piano notes, but yet it's still distinctly him. Huh.
He's a bit like Bach or Handel in this respect, really.
I don't know how he'd feel about me saying that, but it's true. Vivaldi, also.

Funny - a sort of obscure Nine Inch Nails song came on the radio yesterday and I was thinking the same thing after the first few notes were played: "Trent Reznor always sounds exactly like Trent Reznor." Even so, I'm always glad when he puts out something new: he's not a one-trick pony like many pop musicians who have a distinct sound (e.g., The Strokes or something). It's a different kind of distinctness.
To speak to the Bach/Handel comment (I'd throw Beethoven in that mix too), Reznor is definitely classically trained. You can absolutely hear it in his music; he started playing piano when he was very young (4 or 5)? It shows.

Is it a tuning thing? It's more than just the minor key.

This is one of those albums you really want to listen to with your eyes closed.
