Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter is also blessed with a mesmerizing and haunting score created by The Octopus Project. In the Blu-ray audio commentary, David Zellner talks about his collaboration with the group:
“They have a similar sensibility, they’re big cinephiles, and we have the same taste in music and film, and then being friends for so long we have a shorthand with what we were going for tonally. It’s a lot of fun collaborating with them. It’s not like some processes where you finish a film and then hand it over and someone puts a score on it. We like it where we are constructing the film the same time they are doing the compositions. Sometimes things go into a place where we intended and sometimes you find a new and interesting places as you go along. But yeah – they are fantastic.”
