STING

Original score from the 2024 horror feature film directed by Kiah Roache-Turner, starring Alyla Browne, Jermaine Fowler and Ryan Corr, produced by Align, Pictures in Paradise and See Pictures, released by Well Go (USA), StudioCanal (UK/Germany/France) and Diamond Films (Spain).

THE STORY: After raising an unnervingly talented spider in secret, 12-year-old Charlotte must face the facts about her pet-and fight for her family’s survival-when the once-charming creature rapidly transforms into a giant, flesh-eating monster.

THE SCORE: “Sting is not a straightforward horror, but a very playful dark fairytale. Me and director Kiah Roache-Turner decided that the movie needs a proper theme for friendship between Charlotte and the spider I think that the soundtrack is a nice mix of childish fun and creepy horror elements. For Sting I created some interesting “spider-like” sounds and loops from an old typewriter. Besides all weird synth instruments I decided to stick with three live instruments: flute, harp and bass marimba. To record those I had to travel to Sydney ? which was my first time visiting Australia. What a great city! Thank you Sting for this great opportunity.” ? Anna Drubich
