Ty Segall takes on a new challenge with Whirlybird, his first full feature film score for Matt Yoka’s acclaimed documentary about Zoey Tur and Marika Gerrard, pioneers of helicopter news reporting in 80s-90s LA. Using synths, drums, saxophone, guitars, and more, Ty crafts an impressionistic, instrumental soundtrack that mirrors the film’s intense themes and chaotic era. This collaboration, rooted in their shared Southern California roots, blends creative tone-shifting with personal reflection, perfectly complementing the documentary’s story and mood.
