Composers like Nils Frahm Ólafur Arnalds Dustin O'Halloran and Jóhann Jóhannsson evolved from a similar school that favours building atmosphere with hypnotic arpeggiation in composition explaining why these composers are often used to great effect in film soundtracks.   Hear Einaudi Dustin O'Halloran Philip Glass and more discuss sheet music composition and contemporary classicalmusic in our exclusive video below:
