Check out this lovely convo w/@alexlumusic about his award-winning score for In Pursuit of Silence & how he incorporated the prepared piano technique made famous by #JohnCage (i.e. inserting "foreign" objects between strings to create new textures).

Patrick Shen’s meditative documentary, alternating between vignettes of natural tranquility and the cacophony of urban noise.
