The Rising

Entrant: Sky, London

Composer: Carly Paradis

Featuring: Eli & Fur

The eight-part murder mystery follows Neve Kelly, who emerges from the waters of a lake and returns home to find that she has been reported missing. When she realises she's dead, she is scared and confused. It becomes obvious to her that she was murdered and she makes it her mission to find her killer and get justice.

Composer, Carly Paradis, gives us a peak behind the scenes…

I wanted to create an emotional theme song that was epic, hopeful and also carried grief and loss. It is big and beautiful while also lonely. DJ duo / artists Eli & Fur were perfect for the sound, style and tone to perform the lush and modern vocals. I used electronic elements primarily to drive forward Neve's journey into the otherside, the new unknown place of death, using manipulated sampled vocals from my solo records to create an atmospheric and distant world. I began sketching musical ideas very early in the process from the scripts and discussions with director, Ed Lilly, so we were able to develop and explore as filming / editing was taking place.
