Unwell Woman (2024)
directed by Daniella DeVinter
The score for Unwell Woman began back in 2021. The initial premise for the score was to blend 80s synths, gothic horror and baroque all into one. The track below is an excerpt from the initial suite written for the film before shooting had commenced.
It soon became clear that this style of score wouldn't work for the film and that a twisted and more dissonant sound was needed for the base of the score. The tracks below contain the 2022 version of the score which hints at the more sinister themes contained within the film.
The above tracks remained as the finished score until early April 2023 when the director wanted to push the music even darker. The whole 2023 version of the score utilises samples from both the initial suite and the 2022 version of the score. The score you hear below is the completed score for Unwell Woman.
