It’s a varied quilt work as a result. “Gruff notes. “As sonic flagpoles I wanted to signify the film’s location in Liverpool and the Wirral by liberally, but hopefully not too obviously, using the Mellotron synthesizer (as famously used in Strawberry Fields by the Beatles \u0026amp; therefore in my mind it represents that great city sonically) and the Cello as a nod to its use by Gwen’s character in the film.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“I was encouraged by Mike Jones the editor to take things to a more acoustic, emotional and ragged place.
