"John Adams' music comes to me constantly," says filmmaker Luca Guadagnino. "Discovering it was transformative and changed my life as a director forever." In a new essay, Nonesuch Records' Matthew Rankin explores the connection between the filmmaker and composer, whose music has featured in almost all of Guadagnino's films, from 2009's I Am Love to the just-released After the Hunt. You can read it and hear a complete playlist of Adams's music in Guadagnino's work here.

The soundtrack to Luca Guadagnino’s film After the Hunt is out digitally today, with the CD to follow. It features the score by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, a selection of works by the composer John Adams, and music by Ambitious Lovers, Julius Eastman, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Everything But The Girl, and others. After the Hunt, which stars Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Chloë Sevigny, marks the fourth film Reznor and Ross have scored for Guadagnino.
