The nine greatest games ever made with soundtracks by Dan Golding
screenshot of text: "In an absolutely packed roster of exciting and frightening works, the stand-out moment of the evening came with the world premiere performance of Dan Golding’s 'Untitled Concerto For Orchestra And Honk'. A suite of themes from his mischievous, colourful score for Melbourne-developed smash hit 'Untitled Goose Game', the applause for Golding was the rapturous glee of a home crowd. Add to that the genuinely gorgeous, shimmering fabric of textures and breaths composed within the work itself, adapted from a suite of Debussy piano etudes, Golding’s knockout performance as honk-horn soloist made the piece a hilarious triumph. A brilliant assortment of works, 'Indie Symphony II' proved the appetite for video game concerts is only continuing to enter traditional orchestral repertoire. The evening stood as a fantastic example of their capacity to enthral and delight."

“The music in the intermission is very special. It’s by the pianist, John Tilbury, who I worked with for the more melancholy moments that follow László Tóth (Adrien Brody). The intermission is a beautiful moment where you can hear the pianist writing notes on his stave, and you can hear his piano store creaking. You can see Erzsébet’s theme emerging. He’s trying to work out her theme in the film because László’s theme develops into Erzsébet’s. I would say to the audience, sit there. Sit in your seat. Don’t have a cigarette. Don’t go to the toilet. Just listen.” From https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/the-brutalist-film-intermission/isaach-de-bankole/
