BIOGRAPHY

 

With a background in classical composition and a Masters Degree from AFTRS in composing for screen, Edwin Montgomery is a composer, musician and sound designer who works across film, games, immersive theatre, installations and mixed media artworks. They have an enduring interest in the nexus that exists between the worlds of music, film, fine art, philosophy and technology. This teemed with a penchant for history, magic realism and ‘Lynchian macabre’ continues to steer their practice into new and exciting territory. They are known for the epic orchestral soundtrack to Warhammer 40,000: Regicide (nominated for Best Audio at the Australian Game Developer Awards), the dystopian soundtrack to Wasteland (recently released by Microsoft and Remote Control Records) and their live solo performances of original multi-instrumental film scores including rescoring Werner Herzog’s Fata Morgana.

 

Recently they co-scored (with Jamieson Shaw) the Oscar nominated feature documentary Time, which won Best Documentary Directing at Sundance 2020. Edwin also creates unique sonic-driven interactive multimedia artworks including the cult hit Sisyphus Reborn, and Neon Cyborg Cat Club, a lush 3D interactive music generator funded by the City of Melbourne. They are currently developing the sound design and live musical score for The Parallel Effect – the recipient of the Graham F Smith Peace Award and commissioned by Next Wave Festival; and Isolationist Nightclub Simulator, an online interactive music experience funded by Creative Victoria.
