Something In The Water is a thrilling rollercoaster of a story that speaks to our primal instinct of survival and how we respond to being thrown into the depths of extreme situations.

But running parallel to this are the unbreakable friendships and tested loyalties that demanded a score with as much sensitivity and compassion as nail-biting terror; the sheer panic and desperation of the open water, the incessant foreboding of the ever-present threat, and the emotional journey of the characters as they fight for their survival are wrapped up in the wide range of musical emotions.

We settled upon a contemporary hybrid approach where electronic elements were a key ingredient to enhance the ominous underwater sound-world.

A falling synth bass motif for the shark was the first theme to materialise. Other sliding, dissonant synth tones and a repeating low strings motif were used to reflect the increasing panic as the girls' situation deteriorates.

A bespoke palette of stark, clangorous strikes and tones were created from struck instruments and objects such as oil barrels to capture the dark unknown of the depths beneath them.

In contrast, the moments of warmth and empathy played by a haunting, desolate piano theme encapsulates the helplessness and loss, with eerie strings, bowed guitar and mallets embodying the long expanses of time drifting under the intense sun.
