    uniE608 Excerpt of Short Film "Olea" - March 2024
    An excerpt of a short film in which I created foley, performed sound design, created soundscapes, composed the score and mixed for stereo and 5.1 surround sound. Sound design was performed on field recordings taken during filming utilising granular synthesis and generative music systems. This was then further affected and layered to produce the score of the short film which when finalised was mixed and mastered for stereo and 5.1 audio systems. Directed by Trevor Borg Curated by Dr Katya Micallef First exhibited at MUZA - Museum of Fine Arts as part of the Malta Design Biennale 2024. video composer shortfilmcomposer filmcomposer score sounddesign soundscape mixing audio foley soundsynthesis surroundsound exhibition fieldrecording audioprocessing exhibition abletonlive abletonlive12 kontakt kontaktplayer granular granularsynthesis digitalart
