We’re delighted to announce the winners in our soundtrack competition, run by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and judged by Belle and Sebastian band member Mick Cooke and professional composer Alexis Bennett.
Submissions came from the UK, Spain, the Netherlands, Iran and the USA. Two American composers came out on top. mike_bohn won the adult category, with cobra151 winning in the 16 to 18-year-old section. SPegg also received a “highly commended” mention in the adult category.
WINNER, ADULT CATEGORY: mike_bohn, USA
WINNER, 16-18 YEAR OLD CATEGORY: cobra151, USA
Judge Alexis said: “Mick and I were very impressed with all the entries to the competition. There was an amazing range of approaches and all the composers clearly put a lot of work in. Well done to everyone – it was really hard to choose from such a great collection of pieces.
“In the adult category, we decided to give first prize to mike_bohn, whose fun, jazzy style really worked for us. We would also like to give a Highly Commended mention to SPegg‘s entry, which was entirely different but showed great care and thought in its composition and production.
“We absolutely loved cobra151’s entry in the 16-18 category. It has energy, character and a rhythmic momentum that really carries the film.”
