Original Voice (Experimental Horror/Sci-Fi Short)

Project & Scoring Approach
Scored “Original Voice”, an experimental horror short in which an AI, prompted to create a film, spirals into a sonic hallucination in search of an original artistic voice. The film explores the entanglement of machine consciousness, authorship & sensory overload. The score leans heavily on custom synth textures, processed audio, & experimental sound design—shifting from ominous density to magical transformation in an uncompromising auditory arc.

Roles & Contributions
❖ Composed & produced the original score, crafting a highly immersive, disorienting sonic language that mirrors the AI’s cognitive fragmentation

❖ Shaped sound-driven narrative arcs that alternately disrupt and support visual logic—foregrounding dissonance, rupture & emotional ambiguity

❖ Delivered the project remotely for a US-based production team while working between South Africa & Russia—maintaining cohesion through fluid communication & structured draft cycles

Techniques & Tools
❖ Logic Pro for sequencing, sound design & mixdown

❖ Custom synth patching, granular manipulation & audio deconstruction

❖ Cue drafting & delivery via cloud-based collaboration platforms

Outcomes
❖ Premiered at First Light AI Film Festival (New York, USA)

❖ Recipient of the Honoree Award

❖ Successfully expanded sonic scoring practice—navigating unconventional narrative structures with avant-garde sonic demands
