It pays testament to Robert’s skill as a songwriter that the makers of a documentary about one of the giants in the Australian Music Industry should turn to UPWARD recording studio when commissioning music for the documentary Molly, The Real Thing. Robert said that “It was an honor to be able to contribute and write music for the documentary that outlined his music achievements, his relationships, his friendships, his life story.” The challenge – admirably met – was to compose music that would stand up against the many iconic tracks that are also heard in the documentary. Robert composed music that was influenced by the 1970s, with plenty of rock guitar riffs. In this way, music from the time that Meldrum first gained repute as a major player in the Australian music scene becomes an anchor throughout the documentary. The documentary received some of the highest ratings of the year when it was first shown.
