Didn't expect he'd look so young. I imagine all people who create scores as old

[@Fortifeye]

He clearly has an incredible skill, I hate using the word talent because I dont believe that even if you do have a talent for something it will make you good if you dont have skill. Talent is what gets you into it, skill is what pushes you to create amazing soundtracks, and he has some incredible skill. Definitly the next Hanz Zimmer, has already worked on Tenet, and The Mandalorian and hes so young.

[@androidedoidao]

The mandalorian has one the bests scores I've ever seen in any show. This guy's is really REALLY good

That's true and i'm with you on the mandalorian having one of the best scores!! Defenitely Ludwig is a musical genius

[@NathanielMonicalMusic]

Heard

[@kyleplatz6295]

It really is though. I’ve hated everything Star Wars past Return of the Jedi, but man, Mandalorian came along and made me enjoy something Star Wars for the first time in forever. It really had that spirit. And somehow, Ludwig captured a sort of ominous John Williams-esque theme with that beautiful flute motif. He killed it. The one thing I didn’t like about the entire thing was Luke showing up at the end. Just cast a look-alike, CG was too distracting. The Bucky Barnes guy woulda been better honestly. Otherwise 👌🏻

[@Qwazin]

He looks exactly like what someone named Ludwig Göransson would look.

[@talgy2671]

Maybe because he is Ludwig Goransson.

Agree - it's phenomenal. A soundtrack you can listen to for its own enjoyment, even if you haven't seen the movie. The sound design is incredible.

I know Swedish people grow up speaking English, but it still blows my mind how perfect their English is. This is the second video I've watched this week where the Swedish guy in it had almost no accent.

[@zalkin83]

I agree with what you're saying, but he has also lived in US for 16 years. I think that helps in losing some of the accent.

The legendary Ennio Morricone was actually the first composer to do this back in the 60s, everyone else has been copying him since.

Started to listen to this artist, in the last few days, and it is inspiring to listen to. Seems to me that how he composes and makes music, is not to be glued all the time in-front of the computer and or to be tied up in a sense with sample libraries , but to use and record instruments into the computer, inventing your own sounds and then putting everything together into the computer.
