Morehshin Allahyari and I chose to work together for much of the post-production of this film essay. She would cut film while I worked on the score. This made for an organic and sensitive fluidity between visuals and sound.
I composed this original score using the UDO Super Six binaural desktop synthesizer, Moog Mother-32, Soundpaint plug-ins, VCV Rack, clarinet, a broken saxophone, ukulele, and treated vocals.
I took musical inspiration from celestial NASA recordings, the work of Persian composer Sahba Aminikia, Aphex Twin, the film essay work of Sunil Sanzghri,
A major creative choice we made was to only place sung vocals in the last scene, where the possible future is imagined- a place where unheard and silenced voices are finally able to speak.
