The Lost Book soundtrack competition, run by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, asked composers of all ages to submit their own soundtrack for episode one of The Lost Book. We’re delighted to announce the winners (for more information, please see the press release):
WINNER, ADULT CATEGORY: mike_bohn, USA
WINNER, 16-18 YEAR OLD CATEGORY: cobra151, USA
HIGHLY COMMENDED, ADULT CATEGORY: SPegg, UK
The judges were Mick Cooke, of Belle and Sebastian, and Alexis Bennett. Alexis, who composed the music for Episodes 1 and 6 of The Lost Book 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.”
