I began composing these pieces in 2020 as speculative work for the National Geographic
series Life Below Zero. However, it was during the early days of the pandemic that I started
crafting more desolate and emotional pieces, working from home with limited equipment and
space. Having spent years composing rhythmic and comedic music for television, this period
allowed me to delve into what I considered my “emotional” music. I began to explore sonic
textures that conveyed the obscure, abstract feelings of isolation and the uncertainty of a world
in flux.
