The score for Oppenheimer (2023) is composed by Ludwig Göransson, with the film directed by Christopher Nolan. The soundtrack was released on 21 July 2023, the same day as the film's theatrical release in the United States. At the 66th Annual Grammy Awards it won Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media, and at the 96th Academy Awards was nominated for Best Original Score. While the film is a period piece and Göransson used instrumentation that fitted with the 1940s, he also wanted the score to feel timeless, choosing to infuse the traditional orchestra with synthesizers; he and Nolan also chose not to include drums in the score at the risk of it feeling militaristic, instead incorporating percussive elements such as foot stomping, ticking, and Geiger counter static - 'Fusion' has been arranged from the score with the traditional concert band in mind, but adding extra woodwind depth with contrabassoon and contrabass clarinet; if your string bass player tunes down to low C, that will help to create the menacing atmosphere of the original.
