BEHIND THE WORK

‘In the Soil’ was my debut as a film composer. We wanted the score to be aggressive in its outbursts and simultaneously pull you down like quicksand. The score functions as a compulsively loud third character, contrasting the almost wordless relationship of the father and daughter. 


 

The score primarily consists of lo-fi & noisy materials, manipulated strings and prepared guitar. The subjective and abstract "sound design" is also part of the score.

‘In the Soil’ was nominated for a Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival 2021, where it also had its world premiere. Following this, the short has gone on to be shown at some of the largest festivals in the world (Fantasia, Clermont-Ferrand, HollyShorts etc.). In 2022, the score was nominated for an EKKO Shortlist award.
