Penny Black - Original Soundtrack

Abstract or Summary

Original Music composed for the independent feature film - Penny Black www.pennyblackmovie.com Penny Black Movie score was composed by the Scorelocks Collective, supervised by composer Jeremy Mayall. The band consisted of four musicians who have performed with NZSO, a punk rock drummer (who teaches music) and one of NZ’s favourite children’s entertainers. The process let the musicians watch one scene at a time, then improvise music for the scene without knowing what’s coming in the following scene. "This music is the result of creativity, communication and camaraderie. Sitting in a room with some extremely talented musicians, accompanied by vague musical concepts and rough cut of the film, we collaboratively composed over two hours of music in two days - which meant the film could be fine-cut with the final music. It was a unique and rewarding experience." - Jeremy Mayall, Music Supervisor/Composer
