The Devil Conspiracy (Anne-Kathrin Dern)
Original score from the 2022 horror feature film directed by Nathan Frankowski, starring Joe Anderson, Peter Mensah and James Faulkner, produced by Czech Anglo Productions and released by Samuel Goldwyn Films (USA).
THE STORY: A cult steals the Shroud of Turin for wicked purposes.
THE SCORE: “The Devil Conspiracy is my first step into the horror/thriller genre, and a completely different approach to scoring compared to what I usually do. This time I dove into a combination of synthesizers and sound design, paired with Baroque choirs, pipe organ, and electric guitars. I really enjoyed the absolute freedom of non-traditional scoring – the possibilities were truly endless, it almost felt like sculpting and painting sound. The religious and supernatural aspects of the film allowed for a very unique mix of sounds that I rarely get to play with. I truly hope that audiences will enjoy this step away from my usual fare.“ – Anne-Kathrin Dern
