Silence of Shadows - a film by Jin Kay.
/Media: Composition and sound design.
/Year: 2012, Vancouver.
/Client: Jin Kay.
/Description: The soundtrack was designed to be a combination of light/delicate and strong and dark (the way in which I interpreted the clothes), with concrète sounds that do not correlate to the weight of the clothing, yet "coincidently" line up with the movement of the model. The overall concept of the music was to create the illusion of silence by using sounds that promote more intense listening.

This pre-fall women’s ready-to-wear collection is inspired by the book In Praise of Shadows by Junichiro Tanizaki. The book was written in the 1930’s and it compares the definition of beauty between East and West. While the Western World celebrates the beauty that’s exposed and revealed, the East rejoices everything that is hidden, quiet and mysterious. This collection is a compositional analysis of all those ephemeral elements and it is an exploration of the diverse and unique qualities of shadows.
