"Junk", directed by Damien Ryan, follows Luke, a man who loves collecting and hoarding junk. As someone who also has a tendency to hoard things like musical instruments, I really enjoyed scoring this film, partly because it allowed me to put every instrument I own to use. I ended up recording most of the instruments I have collected, from old vintage synths to mandolins, which I think gave the score a very 'homemade' feel. I always love the chance to do some live recordings, and I think mixing that with both analogue and granular synths really helps with the ‘magical’ feeling that the VFX do such a good job of portraying.
