Director Ryan Coogler and composer Ludwig Göransson met in film school at USC.

Ludwig Göransson’s phenomenal score backs Coogler up, layering fiddles over doom metal as if they were meant to harmonize.

In theaters Friday, “Sinners” is the latest lovechild between the writer-director and his longtime music man, Ludwig Göransson, the Oscar-winning composer who previously fused the nostalgic brass heroism of “Rocky” to modern hip-hop in “Creed” and who adapted traditional West African idioms to Marvel-sized blockbuster dimensions in Coogler’s “Black Panther” films.

“I felt like that every day on this movie, like there might not ever be a time when Ludwig can just move to another town and uproot his whole family.”

“I’ve seen Ludwig on guitar, I’ve seen him shred, and I’m like: I don’t know that person.”
