2021 Music Meets Film Award

Jonas was awarded the first ever Music Meets Film Award first prize sponsored by Orchestral Tools. The 2021 Music Meets Film conference is organized at the Black Nights Film Festival.

Jonas composed and produced an original soundtrack to a video clip that was provided in partnership with BFM – Tallinn University Baltic Film, Media and Arts School. New York based singer Andrea Wozniak and Jonas also performed in the soundtrack.

The award’s jury noted: “Jonas’s score successfully navigated the film clip’s ambiguity of genre, reflecting and enhancing the dramatic tension, dark comedy, and action sequences with rhythmic vigour and timbral variety while maintaining its own strong musical identity. Simultaneously rich and transparent, the score also provided a flexible musical counterpart to the pre-existing audiotrack, allowing space for dialogue and sound editing. The overall effect was a well-paced, sonically-integrated, and ultimately humorous audiovisual experience.”

Jonas’s work was selected by a jury of music and film professionals from this years’ Music Meets Film panelists, and announced on 23 November at Black Nights Discovery Campus Award Ceremony.
