Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor are bringing something truly special to audiences with THE HISTORY OF SOUND, and their recent conversation about the film reveals just how deeply they’ve connected with this intimate musical journey. The two actors didn’t just discuss their roles—they sang, they reminisced, and they opened up about the profound experience of bringing this story to life.
When asked about their favorite songs from the film, both Mescal and O’Connor lit up with genuine enthusiasm. The music isn’t just a backdrop in THE HISTORY OF SOUND; it’s the very heartbeat of the narrative, and recording onto actual wax cylinders gave them a tangible connection to the historical authenticity of their characters’ world. There’s something remarkably visceral about working with century-old technology, they explained, where every take matters because you’re literally etching sound into wax. The fragility of the medium mirrors the fragility of memory itself, which sits at the core of what makes this film so emotionally resonant.
The conversation took an intriguing turn when they were asked which Beatles song their characters would gravitate toward. It’s a question that reveals how fully these actors inhabited their roles, thinking beyond the script to imagine the inner lives and musical tastes of the men they portray. The Beatles discussion naturally flowed into talk of the upcoming biopics about the legendary band, with both actors expressing excitement about how those films will explore different eras and perspectives of one of music’s most influential groups.
