Film
Owen has contributed to the Music Department for feature films as a soloist, instrumentalist and co-writer. The bulk of Owen’s work in film is as a regular collaborator of Benjamin Wallfisch; his role usually includes producing large libraries of bespoke guitar parts and custom sounds to be used during scoring as well as overdubs and more traditional guitar sessions.
Owen is currently scoring his first short film as the sole composer.
FEATURED PROJECTS
A CURE FOR WELLNESS (2017)
Original score by Benjamin Wallfisch. Guitars by Owen Gurry.
Owen provided guitars and bespoke sounds for Benjamin Wallfisch’s score. The film is directed by Gore Verbinski whose other films include Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ring and Rango.
Some of Owen’s guitar parts / musical sound design were featured in the official trailer for the film (below).
HAMMER OF THE GODS (2013)
Original score by Benjamin Wallfisch. Guitars by Owen Gurry.
Owen was tasked with writing guitar parts to fit the brutal, harsh and dirty aesthetic of Hammer of the Gods. Some of his parts used on the score are recognisably guitar – heavy, aggressive and unrelenting; other parts were mangled and manipulated to not sound like guitars at all.
Owen also contributed to the music for the closing credits, which was nominated for a Hollywood Music In Media Award (Original Song – Feature Film).
