Life Upside Down

Composer | 2023

Feature film dir. Cecilia Miniucchi | IFC Films

My debut feature score, starring Bob Odenkirk, Danny Huston and Radha Mitchell and premiering at Venice Film Festival

My pitch was to create a dreamlike soundscape for the movie, evoking the inertia and uncertainty of early lockdown in wealthy LA homes. I executed this with washes of sound, reversed pianos and fluttering echoes. I composed melodically strong, harmonically flexible themes for the main characters, tracking their romantic inner lives.

Working remotely with a team in LA from my studio in the English countryside, precise communication made the project work.
