Lachlan Anderson is an Australian screen composer. He has recently scored the soundtrack to David Farrier’s (Tickled, Dark Tourist) latest investigative documentary Mister Organ which is out in theatres soon.

Since then, he has contributed to the soundtrack and sound design of artist Jess Johnson and director Simon Ward’s new planetarium experience XYZZY which premiered at Melbourne Now Or Never Festival.

Lachlan is also known for his work on several international productions, including the acclaimed slow-burn psychological thriller Netflix series Tabula Rasa (nomination ‘Best Score for a TV show’ @ Camille Awards), Horror/ Action Shudder/AMC series The Dead Lands (nomination ‘Best Original Music in a Series’ @ APRA Silver Scrolls & ‘Best Original Music’ @ NZTV awards) and the ground-breaking, Emmy-winning Hulu drama Rūrangi.

Anderson’s multi-layered, incredibly atmospheric music contributed to the London- based true-life Netflix thriller 6 Days and psychological survival thriller The Boat (Nomination for ‘Best Original Score’ @ Malta Film Awards) plus several documentaries including Mothers of the Revolution, Dawn Raid and Billion $ Heist.

Lachlan’s music combines a wide range of practices to create his unique scores, from traditional or handmade instruments to otherworldly sound design to match the ground-breaking stories that need a non-conformist music treatment.

When Lachlan isn’t scoring to picture, he can be found playing bass in Aotearoa NZ noisy 3- piece band Die! Die! Die! who have released 7 albums and toured around the globe since over a decade.
