Stefan Gregory

It won the 2024 APRA/AMCOS Screen Music Award for Best Soundtarck Album, and was also nominated for Feature Film Score Of The Year.

The atmospheric and understated Cottontail features bells and strings, and the film won Paribas Best First Film Award at the Rome International Film Festival. The Dig, starring Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan, employs intimate piano and rich orchestral pieces that evoke the picturesque Suffolk landscape. It was longlisted in the World Soundtrack Awards for the People's Choice Award. In theatre, his score for the award winning production of Medea for International Theatre Amsterdam begins with subtly woven electronica and culminates in a devastating soundscape. The highly acclaimed Yerma features powerful and unusual female vocal arrangements and settings of Spanish text by Federico García Lorca.
