So proud to have worked on this film! This project was a long time coming, and all the hard work & time spent has definitely paid off! I loved seeing how the style of these classic street videos was utilised to tell a great & authentic “Melbourne” story, and getting to compose in this style is always a treat for me too. I’ve always loved orchestral/jazz scores by composers like Piero Piccioni, and my goal was to use those ideas to write music that I feel represents Melbourne. I have to congratulate everyone involved, but especially the rest of the soundtrack team - I got to work with two great songwriters, Hamish Bloom and Spencer O'leary, and I couldn't be happier with the result.
