‘Wild Is The Wind’
Racial tensions and corruption come to a head in a small, segregated town after the police find the body of a young Afrikaner girl in the bush. – Directed by Fabian Medea

The Ask
To create a gritty action score, combining elements of local instrumentation to highlight the authentic South African setting of the film.

The Response
We spent time writing creepy serial killer music with kickass action sequences, while carefully weaving local instruments and acoustic instrumentation into the score. This resulted in creating more of a local edge to a somewhat cinematic and genre-relevant approach.
We tried to create a starkness in the score in order to reflect the location of the story.
The audio’s role was to immerse the audience in this specific South African small-town environment and highlight the emptiness of the world that the characters occupy. We mixed the film in a way that heightened the tension and drama of the story as it unfolds.

The word
“…one of the most gripping and intense films I have ever seen.”
