Une Chimère is a forthcoming narrative film centred on the inner transformation of its central character. The sound and music were developed to stay close to that movement, balancing restraint with intensity as the character shifts through intimacy, vulnerability and disorientation.

Paralel Audio composed the original score and developed a layered system of atmospheric material designed to integrate closely with the final audio post-production. The soundtrack moves between a restrained piano theme and heavier textural elements, including drones and sub-based sound, to trace the character’s internal change.

Parts of the score were recorded with cello and processed using analogue tape techniques to stretch time, introduce material imperfection and blur the boundary between musical and concrete sound. Multiple versions were developed in collaboration with the director and director of photography, then edited, mixed and mastered for integration with dialogue and picture.
