Mica Levi

In the early 2010s, Levi made their debut as a film composer, creating the widely praised score for Jonathan Glazer’s film Under the Skin (2013). Levi received a European Film Award for Best Composer and a BAFTA Award for Best Film Music nomination, and won multiple other awards for this first movie composition. Levi then collaborated again with Glazer on his next film, the acclaimed The Zone of Interest (2023) (for which they won the Soundtrack Award at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival), and two short films. In 2017, Levi received their first Academy Awards nomination for Pablo Larraín’s Jackie (2016). They also worked with Alejandro Landes on his 2018 film Monos, Janicza Barvo on her 2021 film Zola and director Steve McQueen on his Small Axe anthology film series.

In 2024 Unsound commisioned an original piece from Levi for the Sinfonettia Cracovia to be performed at that year’s festival, and later at the Barbican. The same year Levi was commissioned by the artist Nan Goldin to soundtrack her short film ‘You Never Did Anything Wrong’, shown at the Gagosian exhibition of the same name.
