Inception: Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack from the movie Inception. Composer Hans Zimmer worked with director Christopher Nolan to score the film, marking their third collaboration. According to Zimmer, the music is "a very electronic score."
Surprisingly, Nolan demanded that Zimmer base the score on his feelings and their conversations rather than fitting the music to the film-- Zimmer wasn't permitted to see the movie until after the soundtrack was finished[1]. Zimmer brought guitarist Johnny Marr in to collaborate with him throughout the score, and the two debuted 20 minutes of the score with a 20-piece orchestra at the July 13 Inception premiere before a live audience and over the Internet[2]. An album containing some of Zimmer's music for the film was released on Tuesday, July 13.
Hidden Layers
Edit
Much like the story of the movie, the soundtrack itself contains hidden layers. Zimmer cleverly pays uses "Non, je ne regrette rien" by Édith Piaf as a leitmotif. He took the intro to the song, slowed it down and made it into a central theme inside the soundtrack.
A popular YouTube video[3] audibly compares the central theme with the original song.
