TUESDAY (ORIGINAL SCORE)

"Anna Meredith’s score adds considerably to the success of this impressive achievement" Deadline

The original score for Daina O Pusić’s extraordinarily directorial debut TUESDAY is out now! The film stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lola Petticrew, and Leah Harvey.

Throughout the score, I’ve tried to push into cathartic sonic terrain… exploring anxiety and tension through extended cello techniques coupled with bell synths and unconventional use of auxiliary percussion. I’ve tried to keep to this textural palette as consistently as possible to give the score a cohesive identity.

THE END WE START FROM (ORIGINAL SCORE)

My BIFA-nominated score for The End We Start From is available to stream or download everywhere.

The film follows a young family who are torn apart when an environmental crisis sees London submerged by flood waters. As a woman (Jodie Comer) and her newborn try and find their way home, the profound novelty of motherhood is brought into sharp focus in this intimate and poetic portrayal of family survival.

I felt clear from the start that the soundworld needed to be both intimate and large-scale and felt instinctively clear from the outset that it should be based around flute and electronics. I wanted to give the music the distinctive voice Mahalia Belo (director) was after and thought that working on a breath-focused soundworld would complement the dichotomy between large and small-scale humanity (and water connections!) that the film addresses so well.

BUMPS PER MINUTE: 18 Studies for Dodgems

I was so excited by the 18 new pieces I’d written for the Somerset House DODGE installation in 2021 (more info below) that I wanted to make special new versions for an album release.

Bumps Per Minute: 18 Studies for Dodgems is an album of bombastic and off-kilter instrumentals and is designed for you to skip, repeat and trigger your way through the album looking for zesty juxtapositions (or listen straight through!).
