Interview with Jed Kurzel
This week on Sync Music Matters I’m talking to Australian singer-songwriter, guitarist and film composer Jed Kurzel
Jed originally started out as the singer and frontman of the blues rock duo The Mess Hall before turning his attention to composing for film.
He won the Screen Music Awards Film Score of The Year for his debut film Snowtown. The film which gained international recognition, explores the relationships between the murderous gang members behind a spate of killings in Adelaide, Australia in the 1990s
Jed has since gone on to score feature films like The Pope’s Exorcist, The Babadook, Slow West and Macbeth to name but a few.
In this interview with Jed Kurzel we chat about his childhood obsession with sport and somewhat unplanned foray into scoring film.
