A short film built around the idea its title states plainly: that awareness of connection — to other people, to place, to something larger than the self — is itself a discipline worth filming.
Films built around a single abstract idea — connection, consciousness, presence — live or die on tone. There's no plot mechanism to fall back on if the mood isn't right; the score has to do a disproportionate share of the work of making an intangible theme feel like something the audience is experiencing rather than being told about.
That's the brief a project like this hands a composer: build music that doesn't illustrate the film's argument so much as embody it — scoring not for plot points but for a state of mind, and trusting that the right harmonic and textural choices can make "consciously connected" legible without a single line of dialogue doing the explaining.
Composed the original score for the film, working from Con Con's vision to build music that carries the short's central theme of connection and awareness from open to close.
