For the soundtrack, a first draft was sent to Subzar to help establish the composition’s mood and regulate its length. Basing the first movement on a key chord from the piece that had inspired Saulo and Marie, the group then evolved the piece with each changing scene, organically yet precisely. Varied rhythmic meters and harmonic intonations breath further life in the vibrant landscapes, and different lead instruments voice the animals espied. Absent from the first draft, the fauna were added in the film’s post-production phase. After researching how the animals moved, Marie hand-animated each before digitally inserting them into their respective habitats.

In this digitally connected world, it is easy to admire artistic works without comprehending the effort put into their creation. As an exhibit, Somewhere Between connects the final work with a demonstration of its creative processes. Key to this is space - horizontal space between the layers to emphasise the depth in each scene, and vertical space created by the exhibit’s suspension from the ceiling, which allows the audience to capture at eye-level the details missed in the relentlessly restless film. Performing the soundtrack live alongside the installation enables a more dynamic delivery and allows the audience to observe the musicians’ interplay.
