The film “Wilderness” premiered as part of the Melbourne International Film Festival on 11 August 2026. Wilderness was written and directed by Martin McKenna, produced by Martin, Mat Govoni and Lisa Wang and stars Yale Stone and Mirrah Foulkes.
The music score was composed by Robert Murray Jamieson and was recorded at SynthTemple with Andrea Keller on the Yamaha C7X grand piano and various synthesizers, Danny Fischer on drums, Philip Rex on double bass and Anwen Johnston on percussion. Rohan Sforcina was the recording engineer.
Murray notes that “The score moves between two states: hybrid, estranged textures for most of the film, stripping back to something plainly acoustic in the third act. The shift isn’t decorative - it’s structural, tied to what the film itself is doing.”
Congratulations to Murray and all the musicians who shared their talent on the score.
The SynthTemple team sincerely thank Murray, Martin and Mat for having us be part of the journey of Wilderness.
Wilderness will also screen at CinefestOz Film Festival on 3 September 2026.
