The Long Tide

A feature film score for strings, piano and a harbour at night.

The brief

A fisherman's daughter comes home to sell the boat. The director wanted music that sounded like weather: slow, wide and never sentimental.

We wrote two themes, one for the sea and one for the house, and let them meet only in the last reel.

Credits

  • Director: Ines Okafor
  • Score recorded with a string quartet
  • Marlow Sound: music, orchestration, mix
