Daniel Blumberg is a multidisciplinary creator who blends music, composition, and visual art, working across experimental, indie rock, electronic music, and film scoring. His first feature film score was for The World to Come (2020), directed by Mona Fastvold, which won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Original Film or Television Music in 2022.

The Brutalist Architect is his breakout work, with the media describing the score as "powerful" and "infectious architectural soundscapes within an experimental framework." He is renowned for his creative recording techniques, having recorded in London cafes, Budapest, New York, Berlin, Paris, and even marble quarries in Italy. The score blends improvisation, prepared piano (using screws and clips to create sounds reminiscent of "building materials"), jazz, and unique synthesizer filters to craft the film's distinctive soundscape. It is
an experimental and emotionally complex work that not only drives the film's narrative through music but also echoes the themes of architecture and the fates of post-war immigrants through its timbres and structure, successfully becoming part of the film's inner emotional landscape.
