STATEMENT FROM JUSTIN MELLAND:

Working with Joao on MOSQUITO has been the greatest highlight of my career.  He is a master auteur and knew exactly what to say to me to inspire my finest work.  The palette I was presented with when starting to work on this amazing film was so rich and inspired, the score nearly wrote itself.  I formulated my analog based, electronic pallet the same way I would an acoustic orchestra.  I thought of the structures like orchestral music, and I blended the textures much the same way I do when writing for more traditional forces.  The thing I love about writing scores, is the process of diving deeply into an instrument to find its expression, to discover what it's good for and what it "likes" to do.  I let the sound of the instrument itself partially inform how I can write with it.  There is a symbiotic relationship between myself and the instrument that is very inspiring.  When writing the score, I would watch a scene, find the soul of Zacarias in the moment and take that with me into a "material generating discovery session".  Then I would mold the material into the score for the scene to add depth to the life on the screen.  This is a film composers’ assignment, and it's one that requires the deepest of emotional and sonic explorations. 
Thank you for listening to what I discovered.

Mosquito tell the story of the lonely odyssey, through the inhospitable World War One African landscape, by private Zacarias. A character driven experience, I wanted the audience to be completely immersed in to the soldier’s psych through his entire journey. Justin Melland has this incredible talent for creating emotional audio maps for the characters. Through his music, we dive inside the protagonist mind; experiencing his fears, enduring his obsessions or even feeling euphoric with him. Melland take us do the darkest places with the same at ease that fly us to the brightest sky, his music is powerful and transcendental, in a constant dialectic with the film’s story and visual landscape. Put the volume up, close your eyes and watch the film.
