There’s definitely a reason that USC (The University of Southern California) exists, and I’d be so bold as to say it was to bring the talents of Lucky McKee and Sean Spillane together. Lucky McKee is known for his talent behind the camera, as director of May, The Woods and most recently The Woman. Sean Spillane may not be as known at the moment, but his unadulterated talent showcased through the soundtrack to The Woman, makes it clear he should be.
Their initial meetings were as casual as any, both playing in bands while attending USC. They became friends and continued to play in the same scene. A few years later and they would both be off on their own paths away from school. A mutual friend suggested that Sean go see Lucky’s first film, May at its premiere, and Sean found himself impressed by his former schoolmate. As friends often do, they drifted apart but were brought back together a few years back by the charms of Facebook. Some time later Lucky contacted him specifically to see if he was still making music. Spillane had been making music on and off since leaving USC, most notably with a band called Arlo (SubPop), but was in a period of stepping back from music after having some brushes with major labels. He had some songs that had been sitting around that he thought were worthy of a listen so he sent them along and Lucky was blown away by what he heard. The songs titled “Distracted,” “JHP,” and “Patient Satellite” would go on to be the musical foundation that The Woman was built on. While Lucky was writing the shooting script of The Woman he found himself listening to those three songs on repeat, finding a way to mold key scenes around them. A couple of months later he asked Spillane if he would be interested in scoring the film, “’Not a horror score‘McKee said, ‘Just songs.’”
Soon enough Sean Spillane found himself driving cross country with his gear, ready to walk onto set and get down to work on creating the score for The Woman. Typical creative worries about whether or not he would succumb to writers block or whether Lucky would even like what he wrote quickly faded away. “Being on set, seeing the crew, being around all of them and absorbing the atmosphere of the town, it just made me write like crazy and gave me so much inspiration.” The first song he wrote while on set was “Time To Die” and it received an immediate resounding, “Yes! Keep going!” from Lucky. At the end of shooting each day Spillane would deliver what he had been working on and continued to get positive reinforcement from Lucky, a smooth and seamless collaboration to craft the sound of The Woman.
The score of the film melds effortlessly with the film itself. They’re complimentary to one another in such full effect that they are one in the same. You can’t imagine the film without that specific music and it’s hard to not think of the film when you hear the music even out of context. While the argument could be made that this is the very essence of film scores, there’s something quite striking about this one. Could it be the decision to have the music being created while in the presence of the film? There wasn’t some composer sitting at his piano trying to find inspiration, he was there taking in the vibe of the film, not just reading a description in a script. For me personally, the soundtrack to The Woman was absolutely my favorite album of 2011. I-Tunes tells me I have listened to “Distracted” and “Patient Satellite” well over 100 times…each. I may be slightly biased about my love for the film The Woman being a huge nerd for the films of Lucky McKee. But to be fair, it’s a fine and brutal film, and even if I had never heard of Lucky McKee before I saw it I would love it the same. As for the soundtrack so expertly created by Sean Spillane while it could be a standalone album part of its beauty is in its singularity with the film itself.
