Rationale & the making process of the soundtrack:
“I am a graphic designer that loves music without knowing much about music theories, but I have the urge to compose myself one, then I came out with an idea to make sound by chance with a graphical and systematic approach.
I recorded the sound from different sizes and length from the tools that a graphic designer frequently use, such as paper, pencil, ruler, tape, keyboard, mouse, and printer. I composed it by sprinkling color paper dots that punched out from a puncher on a piece of graph paper in order to get the scores, and each color represents one sound.”
