Wireless speaker and home sound system specialists Sonos and Abbey Road Studios recently came together to create ReScored - a short film contest in which the winning film is rescored by Oscar-winning composer Steven Price.

Last Thursday saw the world premiere of the newly scored film Mind The Gap in Abbey Road’s Studio One, in front of an exclusive audience of special guests.  Winner Luke Flanagan’s short film was screened along with a live score by Steven Price.

Competition entries were judged by composer Steven Price, legendary producer and friend of the studios Giles Martin, writer and broadcaster Miranda Sawyer and award-winning film director Simon Cellan Jones. "Mind The Gap was selected as the winning entry owing to the emotional through line that it sets up really subtly and beautifully throughout the whole film" Giles Martin commented. "In the film you meet a character and you don’t really know what they’re doing but by the end of the film you really feel this bond there and the revelation at the end means you can go on this real musical journey with it." 

Steven Price recently told The Guardian that “film scores are there to tell parts of the story that may not be obvious on screen”. Read the full interview here.

We asked Luke Flanagan what it felt like to see his film brought to life with music at Abbey Road: “Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Steven and his team delivered a feeling of a feature film scale to our short. The performance of the live orchestra to an audience created something in the room we could all feel, prompting me to see things in the film I hadn't before. It was magical.”

We’ll share a ‘making of’ video as well as the final edit of the film in the next few days. In the meantime, take a look at these photos from the event.
