APERTURE, Experimental Documentary Film, 2024

Music and audio by Daniel Walter

Director and producer Aaron Lemle commissioned a score and sound collage from me for this experimental documentary film, a meditation on how technology disconnects us from nature. I rearranged and heavily manipulated Debussy's "Reflets dans l'eau" (Reflections in the Water), the French impressionist composer's attempt to musically capture the quality of light reflecting on the water. I then overlaid this with heavily manipulated audio recordings of seagulls and other beach field recordings to create a beautiful yet haunting and even sinister soundscape.
