Always a treat, the Screen Music Awards run by APRA AMCOS and the Australian Guild of Screen Composers (AGSC), went digital this year, but still kept the central thrill of the traditional event.
Jessica Wells pulls together an ensemble of classy musicians and scores the key pieces for the feature film awards, which is a fresh way of listening to the music for the composers. The real event each year has a particular magic generated by a room full of composers and their enablers, coming together, electric with the possibility of victory, their toes curling in unison to the music.
