Gustavo Costantini
Stanley Kubrick's Soundtracks
After rejecting Alex North’s original score for 2001, A Space Odyssey, Kubrick decided to use pre-existing music, and the way it worked was a game-changer. From 19th Century Viennese waltzes to up-to-date avant-garde approaches by Ligeti, soundtracks were never the same again.

Gustavo Costantini
