Byrne & Pemberton release Elon Musk doc song “Let Me Sell You A Dream”
Before the cinematic spectacle hits the big screen, the soundtrack has already begun the journey. A unique and surprisingly witty musical venture, crafted entirely from the words of Elon Musk, has landed, setting a curious tone for the new documentary on the tech titan.
The score for the film Musk, directed by Alex Gibney, is not just a background hum; it is a deliberate commentary woven from the very lexicon of one of the modern world’s most controversial figures. This distinctive piece was composed by renowned composer Daniel Pemberton, who also collaborated with David Byrne.
Instead of relying on traditional musical themes, Pemberton opted for a bold approach: constructing a soundtrack composed solely of Elon Musk’s own quotes. The resulting track, titled Let Me Sell You A Dream, transforms the often-austere narrative of the documentary into an auditory experience saturated with Musk’s ambitious, sometimes contradictory, vision.
This musical collaboration brings a fresh, irreverent energy to the anticipation surrounding the film. It serves as a sonic prelude, inviting audiences to engage with the monumental ideas explored by the documentary through a distinctly personalized lens. The song is now available, just a day ahead of the theatrical debut of Musk.
