Gavin Friday composes music for Anton Corbijn documentary
Gavin Friday has composed music for a new documentary about Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn by director Klaartje Quirijns.
“Anton Corbijn Inside Out” is an intimate and revealing portrait of an influential artist and the result of almost four years of filming by Quirijns. The documentary features appearances by many of the artists Corbijn has worked with including Lou Reed, George Clooney, U2, Metallica and Depeche Mode.
Quirijns calls Corbijn “the kingmaker of the modern gods, the way he has defined the image of the likes of U2 and Depeche Mode and has given them the face that the public has come to know.”
The score for “Anton Corbijn Inside Out” was composed by by Gavin Friday, with Jolyon Vaughan Thomas and additional composition by Herbie Macken. Quirijns and Corbijn had approached Gavin when he played at the Crossing Border festival in The Hague late 2011 to request his involvement:
