Soundtracks for student films exist in a special zone of musical life. Ellery Twining got there in a third way, which he himself speaks about directly: the conditions were unusual. What this means in the context of film underground one can only guess, but the very fact that he mentions it sets the accents. The decision to take on the soundtrack for the film ‘Oy! by Ben Bostian came through a specific point of attraction – attention to detail within the structure of the film. For a musician creating a soundtrack, the film’s structure is, undoubtedly, the score.

Drama, Emotion, Underground

Ellery Twining’s soundtrack emphasizes the drama of the short film, enhancing the accents and creating yet another dimension for understanding the director’s intent. The melody changes, inspired by what is happening on the screen. This reveals the musician as someone who feels the film and is able to fill it with new meanings. I think that the choice of quiet ambient with elements of cool electronics is an excellent choice that perfectly complements the narrative.
