Biography

Lachlan Anderson (AUS/NZ) is a musician (Die! Die! Die!) and screen composer, most recently known for his uncanny score to David Farrier’s investigative documentary Mister Organ (out on Netflix) and for his unhinged score to Sasha Rainbow’s debut Body-Horror film Grafted, set to be released on Shudder early 2025.

Lachlan has also contributed to the soundtrack and sound design of artist Jess Johnson and director Simon Ward's new planetarium experience called XYZZY, which is currently screening at Liberty Science Center in New Jersey.

His music combines a wide range of practices to create his unique scores, from traditional or hand made instruments to otherworldly sound design to match the groundbreaking stories that need a non-conformist music treatment.

Anderson has composed unexpected and evocative score for several international productions, including the acclaimed slow-burn psychological thriller Netflix series Tabula Rasa (nomination Best Score for a TV show at the Camille Awards), Horror/ Action Shudder/AMC series The Dead Lands (nomination Best Original Music in a Series at the APRA Silver Scrolls & Best Original Music at NZTV awards) and the groundbreaking, Emmy-winning Hulu drama Rūrangi.
His multi-layered, incredibly atmospheric music also contributed to the London-based true-life Netflix thriller 6 Days and psychological survival thriller The Boat (Nominated for Best Original Score at The Malta Film Awards) plus several documentaries including Mothers of the Revolution, Dawn Raid and Billion $ Heist.

Lachlan Anderson is currently scoring the newest dark comedy crime drama series Dead End from creator, showrunner & director Malin-Sarah Gozin (Clan, Tabula Rasa, Bad Sisters).

Apart from film scoring, Lachlan is known as the bass player in Aotearoa NZ noisy 3- piece band Die!Die! Die! who have released 7 albums and toured around the globe since over a decade.
