Development
Foxcatcher featured musical score composed by Rob Simonsen who recorded most of the film's music at the AIR Studios in London;he added that the film has a sensibility of sparseness as "the notes or colors that do show up have a greater impact". [1] After he listened to Jacob Cohen's cello performance at a subway stop platform,Simonsen eventually brought him to record the cello solos. [1]
Susan Jacobs,the film's music supervisor selected samples from several composers to be included as placeholders for the temp music. Recordings from film composer West Dylan Thordson were included in the film which Miller liked,and Thordson met Miller in New York City,the following year. At first Thordson thought on attempting the temp score,and eventually relocated to New York for the same. But he eventually involved as one of the co-composers. Mychael Danna,whom Miller worked with in Capote (2005) and Moneyball (2011),assigned to complete the finished score. However,Simonsen would receive the credit for the principal composer. [2]
According to Thordson,the film had a similar intimacy to the melodic voices that the three composers gravitate towards. While Danna and Jeff evoked a sophisticated quality,Thordson incorporate a rough and handmade sound,"which is much more from the world of a slightly out-of-tune farmhouse piano". [2]
