Original score from the 2024 documentary feature film directed by Rebecca Coley, produced by Nias Film, Enriched Media Group and Red Squirrel Studios, released by Madman Films/Garage (Australia).

THE STORY: Stumbling across the perfect wave, two surfers start a chain reaction of unintended consequences. Perfection comes at a cost.

THE SCORE: “The Point of Change soundtrack traces the history of Nias, where different worlds collide and leave a profound mark on one another. The music finds a shared language to engage with Rebecca Coley’s film – a language shaped by place, by beauty and destruction, and by the powerful passage of time. Indonesian vocals, percussion, and flutes form the heartbeat of the score, grounding it in the island’s spiritual and cultural roots. Handpans and thumb pianos were woven throughout to echo the island’s sense of ritual and natural beauty, creating textures that feel both ancient and immediate. These elements blend with Western instrumentation and modern sonic palettes, reflecting how local traditions were transformed as outside influences took hold. Working collaboratively, and inviting other musicians to contribute their own tactile energy, the score grew into something layered and alive – a meeting point of cultures, timbres, and eras.” – Stephen Warbeck & Lewis Morison

THE COMPOSERS: Stephen Warbeck is one of the the most successful British composers working in film today. His many credits include Shakespeare in Love, for which he won an Oscar for Best Original Score; Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, Billy Elliott, Birthday Girl, Quills, Mrs Brown and My Son the Fanatic (BBC/Zephyr Films/Miramax). Stephen began studying piano and composing at the age of four, and by his mid-teens he had developed an affinity for rock ‘n’ roll as well as for theatre. Stephen is a founder member of The Kippers, with which he still regularly performs. His previous releases on MovieScore Media includes the best-selling, lush orchestral score for Princess Ka’iulani. Lewis Morison is a BAFTA nominated composer, music editor, producer and mixer based in Paris and London. His debut solo album There’s A Place for Us channeled two decades of film-music experience – working with composers such as Mica Levi, Ben Frost and Alexandre Desplat – into deeply personal electronic soundscapes. Point of Change is his first score album as a composer.
