Tossup

This composer opened a score with a track inspired by listening for hours to a recording of a door shutting. For a vocal theme from another score, this former member of the band Múm (“moom”) spoke a mix of real language and gibberish into a telephone. This composer used the term “shitmix” to describe an instrument played during a scene in which a man gracefully mimics Ray Bolger after a mad sprint in the dark. This composer wrote and performed “Mortar” and “For Petra” for a film’s concept album, which features performances (15[1])by actress Sophie Kauer and a recording (-5[1])of (*) Mahler’s Fifth Symphony by the Dresden Philharmonic. A word meaning “battle,” evoking the style of Jacqueline du Pré, inspired the first name of this composer, who played the halldorophone on the song “Bathroom (10[1])Dance” and often collaborated with Jóhann Jóhansson. For 10 points, the scores for Chernobyl, Tár, and Joker (-5[1])were composed by what Icelandic cellist? ■END■
