Reimagining Music and Sound Design for SHEN - A Short Film
Week 1
Inspired by film music and with the blessing of Jace Casey, I am going to reinterpret the music and sound of his short film, SHEN. I will be working to get a master file if not individual clips for the audio and video to work with in Ableton. There is a small possibility that I will try to develop an ambisonic or 360 degree sound version.
Week 2
Jace is still looking for files to send me, but in the meantime I have been looking at different sources for potential directions in the music. Inspirations to check out: Ligeti - Requiem
Week 3
Unfortunately, the hard drive containing the isolated tracks has been compromised. However, The dialogue is relatively original music free, so I can work my way cutting out Jace's music and fading in and out of his ambient noise with my audio.
I have worked some music into the first 3 minutes to get a preview of what working with the video will be like. There was some disconnect with the ocean sounds fading out when my music comes in, but I will work on separating the ocean sounds (and other sounds later) from the film media file so that I can loop and manipulate it smoothly under the continuous video to keep some sound source at all times during the film.
Week 4
I rewatched the film It Follows, a favorite of Jace and mine. It features a retro, 80's almost 8-bit like score by Disasterpeace. This has become heavily influential on my reworking of the score for Shen.
