"Right from the beginning Jed and Iknew the music had to inform the cut of the film and provide the very intimate perspective of the lead character Jamie Vlassakis. We didn't want the music tobe leading you through the film emotionally; it couldn't be there to manipulatewhat to feel. It had to be much more impressionistic and provide the very tenseand claustrophobic pulse of Jamie's descent towards hell.
Jed came up with the main Snowtown Pulse and it became so influential that it gave us a new beginning and end of the film. I think it is an astonishingly sophisticated score, which not only affects you intellectually but most importantly emotionally. It’s a muscular, visceral score and integral to the psychological journey in the film. - Justin Kurzel, Director SNOWTOWN
JED KURZEL’s composition career began several years ago with contributions to a number of independent short films. He then wrote the score for the critically acclaimed documentary ‘Naked On The Inside’, before composing the music for the Griffin Theatre production ‘Savage River’. His television debut came with the musicfor the first series of Claudia Karvan's, ‘Spirited’ the second series of which is currently in production with Jed again writing the score.
