Composer Volker Bertelmann Creates Unique 'Crying Planet' Score for Kathryn Bigelow's 'A House of Dynamite'

Imagine a movie about a surprise missile heading towards a city!

The director wanted the music to sound really special, like the Earth itself was sad.

The composer, Volker Bertelmann, worked with musicians to make instruments like flutes sound like they were moaning or crying.

He also used very short musical ideas, like four musical notes, instead of long songs, because there was a lot of talking in the movie.

He learned how to do this from another movie he worked on that won an award.

He even loved the microphones the musicians used so much that he wanted to buy them for his own studio!
