Synopsis:

This short film translates auditory experience into a visual narrative. The story follows an unseen protagonist navigating a world where a complex musical composition dictates reality. Visuals directly reflect the score’s nuances – shifts in tempo become changes in environment, melodic lines manifest as physical pathways, and harmonic dissonance creates unsettling distortions.

The film explores themes of perception, memory, and the power of art to shape existence. It offers a contemplative experience, inviting viewers to engage with sound in a new way. The animation style is fluid and evocative, prioritizing atmosphere over traditional plot structure, creating a meditative journey rather than a conventional storyline. It’s an exploration of how deeply intertwined sound and visual sensation can be.
