Pendulum / Mum

Release Notes
Composed by acclaimed-musician Arli Liberman, Loop are proud to present two tracks from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for the new film, Savage.
The full soundtrack comes as the film is released nationwide in NZ, following on from premiering at the 2019 Busan Film Festival & the BFI Film Festival.
Liberman’s musical signature is heard throughout this release, original, emotive, authentic & at times mesmerising. Combining traditional production sounds with experimental music, Liberman built a subtle & effective relationship between the audience & the narrative. The result is a piece of work that not only perfectly compliments the film, but is it’s own independent journey.
Savage is a labour of love from writer/director Sam Kelly in his feature debut, and follows the making of a gang leader through three periods in his life & a 30 year span. Liberman’s Soundtrack works in tandem with what is seen on screen, maintaining a personal feel through what is at times a violent and dark watch.
Serving as his debut feature-film score, Arli Liberman’s work on Savage delivers a compelling listen which elevate the emotional journey of the film.
