Film and TV score work

Glotman’s work for film has included co-composing False Positive^[16] with Lucy Railton, an A24 production written by Ilana Glazer and John Lee. In 2018, he began collaborating with the influential, late composer Jóhann Jóhannsson on his directorial debut Last and First Men,^[17] developing the film score and recording for him. Glotman also worked with him as additional music composer^[18] for Mandy^[19] (2018) and recorded for other projects. After his passing, he was tasked with co-composing and producing the score of Last and First Men.^[20][21] The film premiered at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival in February 2020,^[22] and the soundtrack album was released by Deutsche Grammophon.^[23] In addition, he has worked with and contributed to scores by composers such as Hildur Guðnadóttir,^[24] Ben Frost, Geoff Barrow^[25] and Ben Salisbury, Dustin O'Halloran and Hauschka.^[26]

Solo Work

Under his own name, Glotman has released music that is directly tied to his training and relationship with the double bass.^[27] Études (2015)^[28] was an attempt at disrupting the learned habits of playing a classical instrument and exploring hidden resonances, physical vibrations, and the outer edges of the instrument's acoustic dynamic range. Compound (2017)^[29][27] expands these experiments to a trio, adding pianist Rieko Okuda and percussionist Marcello Silvio Busato into the musical conversation.

Glotman’s solo projects include KETEV,^[30] a dark techno / Ambient project under which he released albums on the labels Opal Tapes,^[31] Where To Now? and Portals Editions.^[32] In addition, he has released under Blessed Initiative,^[33] an Electroacoustic project on the label Subtext.

Glotman has worked closely with musical collaborators.^[34] Together with Swedish composer Mats Erlandsson^[35] he has released two albums,^[27] and with Icelandic violinist and composer Viktor Orri Árnason^[36] he has released an album on the Icelandic Label Bedroom Community.^[37]
