I’ve lately become a huge fan of films that utilize modern classical music in their soundtracks. I’ve mostly seen it used in horror/thriller films (such as Shutter Island, one of my favorite uses of contemporary classical). I also love soundtracks that integrate elements of classical music with synthesizers to create strange and wonderful moods. My favorite OST in this category would probably be Jóhann Jóhannsson’s score for Arrival, which uses a combination of modern classical, electronic, and ancient music.
Any recommendations for soundtracks that heavily use contemporary classical music?
