Various - Separation City OST

Samuel Scott & Luke Buda are both known for their band the Phoenix Foundation, two solo albums each and - with the Phoenix Foundation - the soundtrack for the movie Eagle vs Shark.

It was that soundtrack - along with a determination to include their song Bright Grey in the movie, Separation City - that led to the director and producer requesting the inclusion of the Sam & Luke duo.

The movie was an interesting and unique project for Sam & Luke to make music for, as the film drifts between hilarious comedy and something much darker and painfully real.

According to Sam, director Paul Middleditch had to reign in some of their more "oblique approach to sound", but in the end it was a great challenge for them as it produced music that doesn't sound like anything they have ever made before. Also, apparently, the help of fellow Phoenix Foundation guitar man Conrad Wedde was required to add a little magic to some of the "love scenes".

Sam says of the other tracks they selected for the movie: "There are a few scenes that called for some NZ roots music kind of stuff and I like the fact it means we've a sound track that pairs up The Black Seeds next to an SJD track, that sort of thing. It's not genre specific but its all contemporary NZ music that we like and somehow fits together. Paul is very into classical music so he chose the NZSO Vaughan Williams piece, which is a hugely important piece of music for the film."

Original score composed, produced and performed by Samuel Scott and Luke Buda.
Additional productions and mixing by Lee Prebble at The Surgery.
