Soulmates
An abstract CGI short where sound has no reality to hold on to — everything must be invented. Sound design as an equal narrator to the image.
Audio sample
Sound without reality
Abstract CGI has no footsteps, no doors, no rain — there is no "correct" sound that belongs to it. Every texture had to be designed: what sounds organic and what synthetic, what is matter and what is light, when sound supports the image and when it deliberately contradicts it.
The approach
I built the textures by layering processed real-world recordings with synthetic sources. The final track works as a music-and-noise composition with its own dynamic arc that carries the viewer through the abstract narrative.
The sample is one of the film's final sonic phrases.
My contribution: Complete sound design, sonic textures for abstract imagery, sound dramaturgy and mix.
