Sometimes, less is more. As we explore life's meaning in an inherently meaningless world, an overly complex sound design would detract from the lofty absurdist philosophy. Set on a muted street corner, a simple soundscape of everyday sounds will support the philosophy alongside a persistent droning, manifesting inherent meaninglessness. Slight variations in said soundscape and droning tone mirror A and B's journeys and intermingling.
I delved into David Lynch's Eraserhead and his other work and collaborations. Each piece was an obscure, dissonant reflection of sounds in our everyday lives. Whether it be the human voice or a busy street, David Lynch had reshaped it into something foreboding, downright Absurd.
