An AI-generated sci-fi short set in an uncanny, surreal world, Circle explores the choice of immortality. Sustained by a mysterious substance, its inhabitants endure as their bodies slowly decay. The protagonist ultimately relinquishes eternal life to rejoin the cycle of life in another form.

The score blends electronic textures, vocals and a large orchestra. Dark sonic layers, recurring motifs and an expanding orchestral palette propel the story, while the voice returns at pivotal choices and in the ending — echoing the film’s themes of life, death and renewal.

A girl is pursued through a dream by monsters that embody the pressures of time and deadlines. With a magician’s help, she escapes danger in a world that shifts between light, mysterious fantasy and tense chase sequences.

The orchestral score connects the narrative through recurring themes, transformed across the opening, the chase and the magician’s arrival. Selected sound effects complement the music, bringing out the dream’s sense of magic and the energy of its action.

COMPOSER / ORCHESTRATOR

An elderly man discovers a mysterious box, only to have it snatched by a blue-haired girl. An absurd chase ensues before she returns it — leaving its secret unresolved. Combining mystery, the grotesque and humour, the film pairs exaggerated character movement with the tactile world of stop-motion animation.

The score centres on woodwinds, pizzicato strings and muted brass, coloured by harp, marimba and xylophone. Short motifs, dissonant intervals and nimble changes in orchestration follow the characters’ movements, balancing suspense with the story’s quirky, darkly comic energy.

COMPOSER / ORCHESTRATOR

Inspired by the octopus’s single reproductive cycle, Senescence follows a mother protecting and nurturing her young in the final stage of her life. A warm, gentle ocean world contrasts with her gradual decline and disappearance.

Centred on atmosphere and the bond between mother and children, the score evokes the tenderness of the ocean, the comfort of companionship and a restrained emotional response to a life drawing to its close.
