Hydrogen Wave
Immersive film soundtrack for Hyundai Motorstudio
Hydrogen Wave immersive film
Hydrogen Wave interactive space
I was commissioned to create the soundtrack for an epic installation by Universal Everything at Hyundai Motorstudio, Senayan Park in Jakarta. The work featured two components: a multi-channel surround sound immersive score and a suite of sounds designed to support the interactive elements, crafted from a blend of textural drones and custom foley.
Accompanying the film is an interactive artwork where audiences can explore three core chapters in the film’s narrative – “Materials”, “Production” and “Mobility Design”. This experience allows the audience to play with these themes and create their own expressions.
Hydrogen Wave is an immersive film artwork celebrating the motor manufacturer's pathway to green steel production and its pivotal role in the sustainable future of mobility design.The film uses a series of abstract vignettes that dramatise the key elements and stages of green steel production – centred around the use of Hydrogen – and how this sustainable material is applied to Hyundai’s unique products and experiences.
