Giant Steps Soundtrack
Universal Everything Artwork for Seoul University
Giant Steps 30 second exert
A soundtrack commission from Universal Everything for Seoul University. I created this hypnotic soundtrack and mixed for Atmos 7.2.1. The soundtrack, composed of rich melodic textures woven into intricate polyrhythms, mirrors the rhythmic, oversized steps of these figures, reinforcing a sense of movement, wonder, and transformation. The title Giant Steps not only reflects their surreal presence but also symbolises the ambitious strides of academic and personal progress.
Filmed across the diverse landscapes of Seoul National University’s campus, Giant Steps invites viewers to explore both hidden and familiar spaces through an altered reality.
Towering, vibrantly coloured figures move through their daily routines — walking, studying, resting— blurring the line between the mundane and the extraordinary. Their exaggerated presence creates a playful tension, challenging our perception of what is real and what is an illusion. Are these beings part of our world, or are they augmented visions?
