From Vicki Madden, the acclaimed creator of The Kettering Incident, comes the Stan and ABC / Disney original series ‘The Gloaming’, a powerful and provocative new crime drama shot against the surreal landscapes of Tasmania.

From the STAN website:

“When an unidentified woman is found brutally murdered, evidence discovered at the scene links to a 20-year-old unsolved crime. What begins as a routine investigation exposes something more insidious, as political corruption and shady business dealings intertwine with sinister crimes and occult practices.

The thrilling eight-part series stars Emma Booth (Glitch) and Ewen Leslie (The Cry) Martin Henderson (Grey’s Anatomy), Aaron Pedersen (Mystery Road) and Rena Owen (Siren), with a stellar director lineup including Michael Rymer (American Horror Story), Greg McLean (Stan Original Series Wolf Creek) and Sian Davies (Wentworth).”

It was a privilege to co-compose the score for this fabulous series with Burkhard and Dmitri for Vicki and John. Think ‘Scandi-noir’ but in Tassie! The series premieres New Years Day 2020 on STAN

The Gloaming was scored by Zeitgeist Music, a collaborative partnership between Burkhard Dallwitz, Brett Aplin and Dmitri Golovko allowing the delivery of the highest quality scores under increasingly tight and often overlapping post-production schedules of high profile productions.

“Every once in a while a film or television series comes around with an aesthetic so eye-watering it makes plaudits such as “evocative” or “painterly” seem manifestly inadequate.” "thrilling air of surprise and intrigue” “Roaming forlornness, an evil spirit, an unwholesome sea: these feel like apt words to describe the brilliant brume of The Gloaming” 4/5 Stars

“The show is gorgeously shot, making the landscape seem almost sentient" "It definitely feels like the sort of place where a uniquely British blend of Christian and occult beliefs might flourish ferally amid primeval natural beauty.” 3.5/4 Stars

“Deliciously creepy tale is satisfying storytelling” “Fans of The Kettering Incident, we have good news: The Gloaming is even better. The limited-run show is a masterclass is sending ribbons of seemingly-unrelated plot streaming over the screen, before slowly pulling them together over eight nail-biting hours.” “There is no need to say ‘this is one of the best Australian productions in recent years’, although it is. The Gloaming can clearly go toe-to-toe with the best crime miniseries the world has to offer.”
