Sound design for Luiza Brzozowiec’s short animation on microscopic marine life such as algae and nematodes. The sound imagines how these organisms might sound, built from manipulated field recordings and synthesised textures. Precise mapping ties each sound to the movement on screen, treating the image as a musical notation.
