Nathan Johnson Explains “Edgar Allan Poe” And “Gothic” Sound Of ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ – Sound & Screen Film

Composer Nathan Johnson has a knack for creating unique soundscapes for the Knives Out films, and he recently shared insights at Deadline's Sound & Screen: Film event. He discussed how the original film used a string quartet to evoke the claustrophobic feel of a New England mansion, while the sequel, Glass Onion, features an orchestral score that captures the essence of its Greek setting. This attention to sound not only enhances the storytelling but also showcases Johnson's innovative approach to film music.
