The Sleep Experiment (2022) - Feature Film

The Sleep Experiment | Feature Film Score & Hybrid Sound Design

Project Overview:
Lead Composer and Music Producer for the psychological thriller feature The Sleep Experiment. The brief required a sonic palette that blurred the lines between traditional musical score and industrial sound design to mirror the deteriorating mental states of the characters.

My Role & Deliverables:

Hybrid Composition: Blended classical orchestral elements with custom-processed electronic textures to create a claustrophobic, evolving soundscape.

Technical Implementation: Managed complex signal chains in Ableton Live and Logic Pro to create unique “glitch” motifs and non-linear harmonic distortion.

Atmospheric Engineering: Utilized advanced reverb and spatial techniques to create an immersive, unsettling environment that drove the film’s narrative tension.

Professional Delivery: Orchestrated and mastered the full soundtrack for theatrical release, providing comprehensive stem packages for the final post-production dub.

The score was praised for its ability to maintain a constant “vibe” of dread without overwhelming the dialogue a skill I apply to all my theatrical work to ensure the vocals always have the necessary “pocket” to shine.
