Obsession (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Waxwork Records, in partnership with Back Lot Music, presents OBSESSION Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Rock Burwell. Obsession follows a hopeless romantic that finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price

“A big focus while composing Obsession was the idea of exploring the uncanny valley, finding the space where emotions get warped into something disorienting, where you’re no longer sure what’s real" Burwell notes. "Curry and I spent a lot of time together crafting the balance between feelings like warmth and dread, nostalgia and estrangement, even the expansiveness of how love feels versus something like claustrophobia. Part of what made it all so exciting was the willingness to take risks, using hard cuts and loudness in ways that feel almost confrontational. Discomfort was always the goal.

Obsession marks Burwell's debut as a feature film composer. The score: atmospheric, synth-driven, and disorienting, was developed in close collaboration with director Curry Barker, and grew out of a creative partnership that began when the two met through a mutual music project in Los Angeles
