Oppenheimer - Can You Hear The Music [Soundtrack Re-creation]

"Can You Hear The Music" originally composed by Ludwig Göransson.
Aural transcription and arrangement for virtual instruments by Timothy Richards.

As a sucker for exponential rhythms I've been looking for an excuse to try programming some. This also served as a good reason to try out some newly acquired synth samples & plug-in's as well.

I didn't fancy working out the tempos for each individual modulation, so instead opted to use one fixed tempo and squash each phrase down accordingly.
Though tedious, slotting each progressively smaller segment together bit by bit proved quite satisfying.
Good fun, eh?

Enjoy!

[Micasgo]

Oh. My. Fucking. God. This is an Absolute Orchestra

[appolle]

please, please, please we need a visual deconstruction of each instrument and its harmonic composition

[junglestormsounds]

Cinematic horn is %100 accurate, i love it.

[IvanBlinov-pomj]

Truly a masterpiece, especially for ones who makes music

[joelles]

Timothy Richards is a name the world will never forget

[ephoo]

this is THE most impressive recreation I have ever seen, absolute goosebumps

[LavenderRex]

Finding out you did this by ear is not only impressive but also inspiring! Keep up the great work!

[noelle]

did you transpose this by ear? if so, very very impressive.

[MohammedMahdi]

No youtube video could capture the bass and all the deep emotionally touching feelings i got by listening to this in imax except this, obviously this video didn't have the thumping feeling to the real thing in imax but this was almost just as good and the best thing my ears could experience till now

[zenha]

Honestly, this is my first time commenting and I feel that you’ve captured the essence and the feeling people get from hearing this piece alone. Knowing you did it by ear makes it even more impressive, and you used your gift of talent to making such a wonderful recreation. We all feel you deserve to go to a higher ground with this kind of talent, and you have a lot of potential to do so much with it alone. I literally feel like I’m levitating and that this whole piece sounds like a whole Orchestra. Ludwig’s masterpiece spread like a chain reaction, causing talented people like you to share it on the internet. You’re wonderful, this whole thing was and still is incredible. You’ve nailed it, Timothy. Props to you. I hope you’ll grow more and that your talent gets recognized more. These comments are proof of you being recognized for what you really are. You can definitely hear the music and produce wonders with it. Keep doing what you’re doing :)

[MohamedSeif]

First 3 times I heard this, got me teary eyed with goosebumps. On the second listen I was balling out. Testament to brilliant music. Thank you for this ‘recreation’.

[BakaPheeze]

the biggest shame is that i can't hear it through a cinema set up again, it still gives me goose bumps
really well done here!

[johnnyeproductions]

As a musician who also is gearing more towards the Cinematic side of things, this is a MASTERCLASS!!! I would actually love to see a breakdown of this track

[joeplemople]

This. This is perfect. Every note, octave, tempo and even synth setting is perfect. This is the type of content I love, this should have many more views considering what this is. An incredibly massive “hats off” and standing ovation to you sir👏👏

[xArianatorGirlx]

The amount of talent you have is out of this world. Absolutely incredible my friend!

[relaxmethods]

This is SO ACCURATE when it comes to hearing music out of nowhere in a psychedelic state. I had it happen to me only once, and it was a lot like this! The timing, the feeling, etc.

[rajhandique]

ABSOLUTE MADLAD, ABSOLUTE MADLAD. Been Listening to it for days now and this is by far the best recreation. The production, the layering, the mix-master, everything is on point. Boii, you're a genius.

[Laura-wjti]

Well you most certainly can hear the music. This is incredible

[xVezzo]

this is so incredible, and reading you did this off just listening to the original is just... wow man.. amazing amazing work.. cant wait to see what you do next

[StarkerOfLands]

This is miindblowingly impressive and the fact that you tranpose this by ear is beyond levels of amazing
