DESIGN NAME: Chasing Space
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Music and Sound Design for Motiongraphic
INSPIRATION: A speech from Alan Watts inspired the video: "... that's what we find as we investigate the Universe: make the microscope bigger and bigger, and we will find ever more minute things; the Universe expands, because it's running away from itself.". In the music i was inspired by the concept of space and emptiness and the in-depth research of the tiny world inside the unlimited universe.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The main theme is composed exclusively for this motion and it's perfectly synchronized with what happens in the screen, music and sound effects are blended together to create a unique soundscape.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: I worked with the animator on the concept of an abstract space with infinite worlds inside it. I tried to go deep and deep inside the materia and to create sounds from little objects of everyday life.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part of this work was to create sounds out of nothing and to describe the emptiness with sounds.
