Inside Films Award: Decoder Ring Somersault
Decoder Ring was last night awarded 'Best Music' at the Inside Film Awards in Sydney for their soundtrack to the highly acclaimed Australian film Somersault. This follows similar success at the Australian Film Institute awards this year for Best Original Music Score. There is a lot of momentum behind this film, dubbed 'a coming of age film' for director Cate Shortland, and many viewers are moved to comment on the succesful use of the score. The Somersault soundtrack rose above Paul Kelly and the Boon companions work for Tom White and the collective work of David Hobson, Josh Abrahams and Lisa Gerrard for One Perfect Day.

As reviewed recently on onetonnemusic by Funnel, Decoder Ring creates an enchanting score that envelopes the audience, almost as if it is warming them whilst they are watching the film set in the cold climes of Jindabyne.
There is most probably more success waiting for this soundtrack as it debuts on the international martket as the film has been sold to 30 countries and opens in France, January, UK, Feburary and the USA, mid next year.
The Somersault soundtrack was also produced by Decoder Ring. The band recorded much of album at their studio which they relocated to a farm outside Kiama . Further tracking and editing work was done at Soundfirm at Fox Studios alongside Somersault's sound designer Sam Petty.
