So, it's kind of like that "sound mass" or "musique concrete" approach?
Levi initially wrote more music, warm music for the Höss family, but as the film was being put together, Levi, director Jonathan Glazer, and editor Paul Watts found that the music was not only competing with the sound design but it dramatized the images in a way that would give off the impression that what was being depicted didn’t happen. So much of that music wasn’t used.
The only score in the film is a series of sounds that mostly play during the thermal imaging sequences, sounds that Levi called “yums”, deep robotic belches, as well as a couple of sounds that play during a notable sequence they called “zits”.
The opening prologue music, all played over a black screen, is related to that initial family music, a synthesizer paired with relatively deep voices, that descends in pitch as it plays.
The end credits music is the most substantive piece of music, where Levi recorded screams from a group of singers and made a sound collage with those voices ascending in pitch.

This is an excellent summary of the music, thanks much!
Of course, I read that last part about "screams from a group of singers" and my immediate thought was "yikes, that's unsettling!"
