Academy Award–winning composer Daniel Blumberg ("The Brutalist") has built a career by trusting instinct over certainty. His music begins in a place of raw emotion, leaning into tension and unpredictability, where discomfort becomes part of the creative spark. His scores, most recently for "The Testament of Ann Lee" (in Berlinale Special), are opening space for feelings that are often difficult to frame. In this conversation, Daniel dives into his musical curiosity, exploring his love for improvisation, and his willingness to get lost in the process, shaping a body of work that thrives on chaos and confusion, and the surprising clarity that can emerge from both.
