The score soundtrack for Marty Supreme has arrived alongside the film’s release today, Dec. 25.
The project is composer Daniel “Oneohtrix Point Never” Lopatin’s latest collaboration with filmmaker Josh Safdie and spans 23 tracks, drawing from “neoclassical orchestration, widescreen synth ecstasy, and tactile 80s hardware,” per a press release. The soundtrack also includes performances from Laraaji and vocal layers from Weyes Blood.
“The music came from an obsession with rhythm, buoyancy, and motion—compiling hundreds of mallet and bell sounds to mirror Marty’s mercurial, fast, and kinetic nature, which is like a table tennis ball itself,” said Lopatin in a statement. “I wanted the score to live between tradition and invention, with neoclassical elements grounding the world around him as he finds it with rules, limits, and pressure. The electronic textures lean into the future he imagines, even as those forces begin to contend with each other.”
Earlier this week, Tiesto delivered “I Love You, Tokyo” from the soundtrack during his performance in front of the Pyramids of Giza. In addition to Safdie, Lopatin has worked with a host of boundary-pushing artists throughout his career including David Byrne, FKA Twigs, Anohni, and DJ Earl.
Marty Supreme, now in theaters, stars Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet, who has led a wild marketing campaign for the film — appearing atop the Las Vegas Sphere, which had been transformed into a giant ping pong ball, days before the movie’s release.
A Rolling Stone review praised the film, with critic David Fear writing, “Imagine Rocky if you substituted ping-pong for prizefighting, Alexander Portnoy for the Italian Stallion, and an egotistical prick for a lovable underdog. You’d have something close to Marty Supreme, Josh Safdie‘s manic character study that doubles as a cracked American success story.”
