Becoming Arctic is the name of a short film by Robert Platt. It’s doing the rounds at some film festivals in north america this year. The soundtrack was composed using a formalized score pipeline written in python. The instrumentation is violin and synthesizers, Boyana Maynalovska on the violin and me trying to keep up on the keys. It was recorded at TIC studios in Vienna
