Three Irish Composers up for World Soundtrack Awards
08 Sep 2014 : Deirdre Molumby
David Holmes, Liam Bates and Patrick Cassidy have been nominated
The World Soundtrack Award honours a soundtrack or even a lifework. The awards are distributed annually to mark and celebrate outstanding achievements in scoring music for motion pictures, and to honour other achievements as provided for in the rules and approved by the advisory board of the organizing body, the World Soundtrack Academy.

This year, three Irish composers have been nominated for the Spotify Public Choice Award 2014 – Patrick Cassidy has been nominated for ‘Calvary’, the critically-acclaimed feature from John Michael McDonagh; Liam Bates is nominated for ‘Last Passenger’, a thriller set on a train from director Omid Nooshin; and David Holmes is up for the Naomi Watts starrer biopic ‘Diana’, which he has been nominated for with co-composer Keefus Cianca.

Patrick Cassidy, whose credits include ‘Kill the Irishman’ and ‘The Front Line’, has received two IFTA nominations for Best Original Score for ‘The Front Line’ and ‘Calvary’. Liam Bates was also nominated for this year’s IFTA for his work on science fiction comedy ‘Earthbound’. Holmes has worked on ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ and ‘Ocean’s Twelve’, as well as the award-winning films ‘Hunger’ and ‘Good Vibrations’.

Cassidy, Bates and Holmes will face tough competition as they compete against Hans Zimmer for ‘12 Years a Slave’, ‘Rush’ and ‘The Lone Ranger’, Danny Elfman for ‘American Hustle’, John Williams for ‘The Book Thief’, Howard Shore for ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’ and ‘Maps to the Stars’ for the award.

The award is by public choice and you can vote for the soundtrack of your choice through the link here.
