In this rescore of Denis Villeneuve’s Next Floor (2008), my goal was to blur the line between diegetic sounds and nondiegetic sounds using the orchestra. My method was to strip away all existing sounds and reimagined both sound design and music by blending the two. For instance, the sound of people eating was crafted by layering flutes playing key clicks and flutter-tonguing alongside a string ensemble performing pizzicato and staccato notes. These elements were then processed with audio design effects. This technique, which merges diegetic and nondiegetic sound, permeates the film, situating the sound-designed score within the realm of the ‘metadiegetic’.
