About the project

This film is all about texture. The director has done a great job of capturing a huge range of formats, from CRT screens to tape, with images that look gooey and splattered, so we went all in on emphasising each one and giving every format its own unique texture.

The tape and CRT looks are full of hiss, which is where I played the most, and the digital sections have glitches to match.

The music was a big influence on the sound design too. The rave segment is more strobe-like, stuttery and gated, and drenched in reverb as if we’re in a warehouse. The soul segment goes back in time, so we’re playing vinyl in reverse, with plenty of hiss.
