MUSIC№ 01
The score for Memoir of a Snail moves at the speed of grief
Elena Kats-Chernin's score for Adam Elliot's claymation opus is patient, fragile, and refuses to tell the audience when to cry.

Adam Elliot makes grief out of clay because clay holds its shape when everything else falls apart
Elliot's characters are made of plasticine and painted with fingerprints, and the imperfection is not an aesthetic choice; it is the whole argument.

FILM№ 03
Adam Elliot made grief out of clay and it holds its shape
Elliot's second feature is a hoarder's inventory of loss, rendered in plasticine and voiced by Sarah Snook, and it is the best Australian film of 2024.

MUSIC№ 04
The score for Blaze chases the animation and catches it in a different key
When a film splits between live action and fantasy animation, the score has to bridge two visual languages without flattening either.
