Hildur Gudnadottir - Joker OST

Hildur Guðnadóttir has composed a dark, ominous and rather unsettling sound for Joker, a score that simply terrifies in its atmosphere. The album begins with Hoyt’s Office, and the rather disturbing tone of pretty much the entire score is established straight away with the arrival of these dark, moody strings.

This is a soundtrack very clearly aimed at atmosphere rather than traditional themes. Much like the now established soundscape, the “theme” is a solemn piece, consisting of just a few drawn-out and quite bleak-sounding cello notes. Despite its simplicity however it’s hard to deny how effective it is – the music washes over you with this feeling of just utter…unsettlement that actually makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.
