Steve Jobs (soundtrack): History and Key Facts

Steve Jobs: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album to the 2015 film Steve Jobs, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Aaron Sorkin, based on the life of Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs. Daniel Pemberton composed the film score in his maiden collaboration with Boyle. He split the score into three parts: analog, orchestral and digital, and had blended electronic and orchestral score as the film takes place during 1984–1998.

Apart from Pemberton's score, the soundtrack album also features songs by The Libertines, Bob Dylan and The Maccabees. It was released digitally on October 9, 2015, followed by a physical release on October 23, by Back Lot Music. A two-disc vinyl set was released on February 5, 2016. The soundtrack received positive response from critics, praising Pemberton's instrumentation and musical approach, and received a nomination at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards for Best Original Score.
