I was deeply influenced by Ludwig Göransson’s compositional approach in “Can You Hear the Music?”, particularly his method of starting from experimentation—sound experiments and random melodic fragments—and gradually building layers that resonate with the narrative concept.

Accordingly, when composing the score for this short film, I began with a low-frequency, randomized melodic texture. Based on this foundation, and in dialogue with the visuals, I developed an additional melodic line. On top of this melody, I layered a beat with a clear sense of temporal progression, creating a looping, cyclical perception of time. Made by Blender(3D), Cubase(music).
