The Score
Five tracks written for the story. Each one a different angle on the same question: what does it sound like to discover you were built?
Warm lo-fi warmth curdles into tension. D major → D minor, 108→72 BPM. Rhodes piano, nylon guitar, detuned synth pad entering like doubt.
Ref: Ólafur Arnalds · Trent Reznor · Ryuichi Sakamoto
Clinical precision becoming existential awe. C♯ minor → A major, 72 BPM strict. Metronome click, two-note piano ostinato. The clinical becomes the sublime.
Ref: Max Richter · Nils Frahm · Jóhann Jóhannsson
Antreas's song. Memory, identity, the builder confronting mutability. "Phantom lamb on a phantom plate / If you rewrote me, would I feel the seam?"
Ref: Bon Iver · Radiohead · Sufjan Stevens
Faye's track. Love through negation, the sky she built. Dream-pop / shoegaze. "I don't like you — that's the way I say it." The most human track.
Ref: Cocteau Twins · Beach House · Mazzy Star
The coda. Solo piano to full orchestra. F♯ minor → A major → F♯ major. Farewell, countdown, rebirth. Celesta like morning light.
Ref: Sigur Rós · Max Richter · Barber
