A Composer’s Nightmare

2018

My Roles:

  • Music, art and animation

Imagine you are a composer trying to get your foot in the door as you begin your career. To your great astonishment you have just been commissioned to score a film. Right away, eager to impress, you spend the whole day composing. Hour after hour flies by only to reveal a blank page and a mountain of crumbled scribbles on the floor behind you. Dusk settles in dimming your studio, a reflection of your mood. Soon night falls and you have yet to create an idea that has a sturdy foundation. On your page everything seems to move and have a life of its own. No boundaries, no rules and no stability. Frustrated you crumple up your last piece of paper for the night, admit defeat and rest your weary head. Rest proves to be in vain as a nightmare is unfolded before your vision while you drift ever farther into sleep. This graphic score will take you through a journey that may seem normal in the very beginning however this will all change.
