ARTIST & ALBUM INFO: 

Composer Brian May first got in contact with director George Miller and producer Byron Kennedy after director Richard Franklin played the two May's score for his then-upcoming film Patrick (1978).[3] Because the score resembled the work of Bernard Herrmann, May ultimately won the assignment of composing music for Mad Max.[4] "The sort of score they wanted was the sort that Bernard Herrmann and Co. did in Hitchcock films," recalled May, "because they had a big action movie and they needed a score to propel it along and give it a lot of bite and energy. So it just happened that they were rather friendly with Richard Franklin, and they were at his house for dinner one evening when he played them the music for Patrick."[3]

Combining classical orchestration with mechanical sounds, May's work on Mad Max is notable for its distinctive soundscape that interacts with the film's diegetic sounds.[5] "Mad Max was a strongly energized score in the violence/action department, and for that they wanted a totally non-melodic score," explained May. "It was very jagged and shearing, and George particularly wanted me to antagonize the audience by making them feel uncomfortable. Sometimes we had jagged notes going against dialog so that the audience would feel frustrated."[3] Such effects were developed through the application of stingers by way of brass and percussion instruments.[6]

May went on to win the Australian Film Award for Best Original Score for his work on Mad Max
