Out of print ,used item "I read the script to Dean Spanley in December 07, and saw an early assembly in the New Year. I loved the strangeness of the story and the precision of the dialogue, and I was keen to start work, but security concerns meant that I didn’t get to see much else until mid April when I finally got the cut. (Two other people and a dog had been allowed to see rough versions in the interim, but they had disappeared in mysterious circumstances.) Undeterred, I went home and wrote some pieces that reminded me of the story, hoping that I was remembering the correct film. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise: away from the tyranny of the edit, my ideas could range free, and when the pictures arrived, it seemed that my music could stick up for itself a little better than it would have otherwise. The rest of the composition process was anything but conventional. I wrote more sketches in a friend’s spare bedroom in London to play to director Toa Fraser and the producers in the edit suite, then refined the layout of the music with Toa and editor Chris Plummer (luckily for me, two people with excellent musical instincts). Then I was invited at short notice to tour the US with Crowded House, so I wrote most of the rest of the score in tour buses travelling from one show to the next across the States, emailing demos to Toa in London, before sending the finished files to Gareth Farr, my orchestration assistant (in various parts of the world) then to Philip Griffin, our copyist (in Adelaide) then finally to Mable Wong, the immensely patient librarian at the NZSO in Wellington. " “It’s a beautiful film: about fathers and sons, about the known and the unknowable, about laying past ghosts and setting off into an adventurous future.
