MUSIC SCORE

After considering a number of film composers in South Africa, Barry Berk decided that the SAFTA award winning team of Daniel Caleb & James Matthes were the perfect choice to create the tense dramatic score that Sleeper’s Wake required.

Approaching the music for Sleeper’s Wake started from the moment the script was received, and the majority of the score was written before even viewing a single frame of the film. Barry had a large role in the direction of the score and was very hands on when it came to style and movement.

As the production progressed a large portion of the soundtrack was created through sound design techniques using sampled sounds from many sources. Natural sounds like wind and water were used as well as an eerie effect created from rubbing glass. These were then treated by pushing the boundaries of synthesizers and combining them with a score recorded with live musicians on contemporary instruments. The resulting score is driven through simple motifs that repeat themselves in subtle ways to create a tense and unnerving sound design and musical arrangement for the film.
