Twynholm’s music for Ride The Wave masterfully combines elements of songwriting and folk melody with electronic and contemporary classical composition to create the wide range of instrumental textures necessary to tell this intimate coming-of-age story. Avoiding all surf-music clichés and working with a sound palette of strings and electronics, the score covers a broad spectrum of emotions, at times fun and free-spirited while at others brutal and foreboding. With a film shot across several countries, and over an extended period of four years the soundtrack drives the story forward and adds coherence, often raw and unpredictable like the sea itself.
