Enys Men (Original Score)

    ‘Enys Men’ is the new folk horror film by BAFTA-Award winning director Mark Jenkin. Jenkin also composed the score for the film, now available on vinyl via Invada Records.

    The film revolves around a wildlife volunteer whose daily observations of a strange flower on a lonely island take a dark turn.

    Mark Jenkin won a BAFTA for his critically acclaimed film ‘BAIT’, the score for which was released on Invada Records. The score features entrancing lo-fi drones intertwined with dialogue from the film.

    Producer Denzil Monk said: “To the best of our knowledge it is the first time a Cornish language poster has been used for a distributed feature film. It gives the sense that the language was the language of the island and it’s nice to highlight this aspect of the film. The Cornish language is also thriving, the number of people speaking it is growing all the time and it’s started to break into mainstream culture. To see it normalised in this way is really important for its future and makes it more visible. This is a Cornish production through and through and a celebration of Cornwall’s rich folklore, its tin and copper mining heritage, relationship with the sea and stunning natural beauty.”

    Bait - Original Score

      Invada Records announce the release of Mark Jenkin’s drone-heavy score to UK film ‘Bait’.

      Mark Jenkin amazingly directed, edited and composed the score himself for the resolutely DIY yet hugely successful film. ‘Bait’ has since received four British Independent Film Awards nominations for Best Indie Film, Best Director, Breakthrough Producer and Best Editing and is one of the highest grossing and most successful indie films of 2019.

      The score is pressed on blue vinyl and comes housed in an extra thick deluxe spined sleeve with double sided heavyweight card printed insert, featuring stills from the film. There is also a digital download card included.

      Jenkin: “I started playing around with some drone ideas as a distraction from the editing of the film; something to take my mind off the cutting,” he says. “I was experimenting with delays and reverbs and decay and I began to feel that there was a nautical theme to the sounds that I was making.

      “An original drone was created very separate to the film but then I realised it might work as a score. From there I created a set of about 12 drones (eight of which are on the album) which were mostly variations on a theme and I began to place them in the edit to match the score. The drones work very well with the sounds of the sea, which is pretty much omni-present throughout the film and makes it easier to embed a drone without it being a big ‘musical’ statement.”
