We chat with NTJohnson, the composer behind the score of GlassOnion, how his music is threaded through the KnivesOut films, and his lifelong collaboration with his cousin Rian Johnson:
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is a more-than-fitting return by Rian Johnson to the world of murder mysteries. With more twists and turns than its predecessor, a colorful new location, and top-notch humor and dialogue, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery meets, and perhaps even surpasses, the high bar set by Knives Out in 2019.
I think the specific answer has to do with precision. Even though we're using a big orchestra, Rian and I love film scores that are precise, where you can hear all the melodies, and you can hear every section. This sort of harkens back to Bernard Herrmann scores, and old scores that really have that fingerprint, that personality, where you can kind of hear the bows scraping along the strings.
I really love that there's a harpsichord in this score, because I can't think of a film score in recent memory that features a harpsichord. What made you want to bring that in? With these movies, I take a small writing rig onto location, and I'm watching the performances, and I'm watching the tone of the movie develop at the same time as I'm starting to sketch out ideas for the themes. It feels almost like a gardening process, where you're getting to plant seeds, see which ones feel like they're growing, and then water those. I realize that it's luxurious, but it's very rewarding.
