My entry for the 2024 Soundtrack Competition by ADAM Audio. 

 I made a bed of ambience, footsteps and a muffled pad (consisting of "Lekko" and "Jasno" chords by felt instruments), representing the outside. The inside of the helmet (also the inside of the protagonist's mind, I guess) is represented with bleep SFX, short melodic phrases by the piano (Lekko as well) and an arpeggiated pulsating synth (Ableton's stock instrument "Operator" – as are all synths in this project. 
The lead instrument is a heavily distorted, yet melancholic sound that I added to give the static image some live, some story, some meaning. It represents my feeling of a cold, artificial, futuristic scenario, but is open to interpretation. Apart from "Operator", I used Ableton's "Corpus" effect and "Digitalis" by AberrantDSP to design this sound. 
For mixing, I mainly used Fabfilter plugins (Pro-Q3, Pro-C, Pro-MB) as well as "Decapitator" by soundtoys and "S1 Imager" by Waves. I used Ozone on the Master bus for a quick and dirty master. 
It was fun to write a little soundtrack for a non-moving picture for a change :D
