Purpose

Purpose - A story about a couple who can't have children.

This was an interesting story to tackle, I thought about what I wanted to achieve in terms of feeling and basically worked from there. Spending a few days working out the soundtrack and building ideas; coming away thinking and going back to it; I eventually narrowed it down to two tracks. I wanted something with alot of emotion and a build up into a climatic finish. I was lucky to find one that guides the audience through this crescendo and delivers them to a bitter, futile end as is the general theme. The futility of their relationship.
So I choose this track by Olafur Arnalds, an icelandic composer who originally started out as a drummer for hardcore metal bands, which you wouldn't necessarily expect from such an ambient composer. He does however retain the power behind heavy metal as a genre and communicates that in a softer, classical voice rather than a loader more angry one.

 
His style of composing I especially like, I found once I had the core idea his music it was easy to tell the rest of the story. This was key in creating concept of an intrinsic link between the music and the visual. An idea i've often toyed with in projects and will explore more.
