When I first started thinking about the music for Sick, the film’s connection to COVID and illness immediately shaped the sonic direction. The story carries an undercurrent of anxiety tied to breath, proximity, and the invisible threat of infection. I wanted the music to live inside that physical sensation, something that felt fragile and unsettling, almost like the sound of breathing itself becoming part of the score.
The palette for the music grew out of that idea. I focused heavily on breathy textures and airy sounds, building a world that feels tense but intimate. To achieve that, we assembled an ensemble centered around bass clarinets and low woodwinds, eventually creating a group of fifteen bass players performing together. The depth of those instruments, combined with the breath in the performances, produced a sound that felt both heavy and fragile at the same time, almost like the air in the room was part of the tension.
