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!

From Wikipedia: "In the piece "Can You Hear the Music", he employed 21 tempo changes-a large feat for a live orchestra. Originally, Göransson called it "unplayable" and planned to record the song bar-by-bar, but his wife encouraged him to record the song in one take. After much experimentation, the music team achieved this by playing a click into the musicians' headphones before every tempo change. This piece alone took three days to record."

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 :)

This alone is art, but the fact that Goransson could even come up with this incredibly intricate idea in his head just shows his true genius.
First time I'm hearing something sounding Cosmic and Heavenly here! And what an absolute surprise, it's not played by real instruments! Usually, 99.99999999% of these computer generated stuff play such bad music, like you know full well it's not real instruments. But I suppose if you're good at creating good music, then it doesn't matter whether or not you play real or computer instruments

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👏👏
The amount of talent you have is out of this world. Absolutely incredible my friend!
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!
I don't comment much on KZread but this is something special. At first, I thought you may have done a composers equivalent to a cover. I'm genuinely amazed that you arranged the whole thing aurally.
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.
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
This is miindblowingly impressive and the fact that you tranpose this by ear is beyond levels of amazing
Well you most certainly can hear the music. This is incredible
This song only have 1 problem, it’s too short! Beautiful work man, hope you manage to make a longer version for us to enjoy
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
When the red parts trigger all those majestic and bonechilling moments... Just a beautiful and perfect rendition and even more impressive that this was just done "by ear".

It was, I'm stunned. And then I read the comments and learned it's done by ear..... I have no words
I have no idea how this one piece can be this good. It fits incredibly within the tone of the movie, stands on its own, collides with itself, collapses inward over and over in its unyielding acceleration, delights, but yet almost enrages the senses. This piece is massively inspiring and captivated me the instant I heard it in the theatre. I'm so excited to see how it's done the same to so many others.
I can’t even imagine how many times bro had to listen to the song to be able to pick up and recreate every detail
This is by far the BEST recreation I've run into across KZread!! Absolutely fantastic work.
This is peace of art 🎨
I can't wrap my head around how you did this. This is absolutely phenomenal and really highlights how incredibly complex and incredible the original track is.
I compared it with the actual piece by playing them both simultaneously, NOT A SINGLE DIFFERENCE IN ANY NOTE, IM THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED. I'll honor your great deed by limiting my mere words which cannot express the beauty of your work 🙏🙏
This is amazing work. I loved how this looked visually like a wave whose frequency was increasing as the song went...❤
Music that gives goosebumps. Impressive. Good work Timothy Richards.
I thought this was the actual soundtrack audio playing in the background for a good half of the video, great job.
I actually leapt in my chair twice just now - once when I saw you had uploaded, again when I read the video title. I would've been content with another Fromsoft track but this was unexpected and INCREDIBLE! You arranging this track is like 2 of my favourite things combining! Absolutely beautiful arrangement!! This video really shows you have an amazing ear for transcription and your range is insane! Is there a platform I can support you on? I would love to show my appreciation for your work, but I can't see any links in your description. If you don't have one, I think you should definitely consider getting a Ko-Fi page or even a Patreon - I for one would be absolutely keen for it!

Bro you have got some really amazing skills the amount of skill that you have put into to notice each and every parts of the music, the higher pitch / the lower pitches , when the horns goes up . when to blend down the strings . everything Just hits the line of perfections Really apreciate it bro this is coming from a true musicians heart
man this is incredible. The comparison with the original is so close that would make me seriously doubt you got the original stems and just did a different mix. Props to you my guy, this is outstanding work.

Absolutely stunning work, the soundscape is incredibly accurate and consistent with the original, down to the instruments and everything. There is barely any difference between your version and the OST, which is likely just down to the use of live instruments. Hats off to you.
This is very very impressive.
Insane! Well done! What a masterpiece. Ist just impressive to visualise all those audible components!
this is absolute perfection.
I like how the high notes form the Greek letter lambda, which represents the nuclear decay rate. And the increasing pace apparently symbolizes the acceleration of the chain reaction. In fact, this score is a chain reaction.
Phenomenal! Respect for the dedication and time effort!

Amazing job

Every now and then I come back to listen to this masterpiece once again. It’s such a powerful composition and seems easy and smooth even if it’s very very complicated
how can this be so perfect
The cut at the end just makes it all worth it, like how it fades out over time, very good and nice job!! Edit: I feel that this should have been in the actual movie, not that the original is bad but this one has a bit more push and shove to it, especially because it was made electronically and not from actual instruments, and once again: nice job and can't believe you did this from ear!
I’m blown away. Well done sir, I have no more words.
The feelings this song gives are indescribable. It's almost paralyzing with how beautiful it is.
