Suit Hung. Tied Tongue (2024) – Original Score

I composed the original score for Suit Hung. Tied Tongue, a 2024 Irish feature film directed by Sau Dachi. The film is a tense, socially driven drama presented in a mockumentary style, following two brothers whose radicalisation leads to a violent act that sparks national outrage and complex public reaction.

The project required a nuanced and adaptable musical approach to support its shifting narrative tone—balancing intimate, character-driven moments with broader themes of political tension, grief, and societal unrest. The score moves between restrained, atmospheric textures and more intense, dramatic passages, helping to build a persistent sense of unease and emotional weight throughout the film.

A key focus was enhancing the film’s realism and documentary-like aesthetic, using subtle orchestration and evolving motifs to mirror the psychological descent of the characters while maintaining narrative cohesion. The music plays a central role in shaping tension and guiding the audience through the film’s layered perspectives and moral ambiguity.

This work highlights my ability to compose for complex, story-driven cinema, delivering a score that supports both emotional depth and large-scale thematic storytelling within an independent production environment.
