This was a second collaboration with director Eva Weber and producer Samantha Zarzosa, after the earlier Intimacy of Strangers. It was a series of four short films for Channel 4’s 3MW (Three Minute Wonder) strand. Eva & Sam have a fantastic aesthetic sense and these are very beautiful films which, like Intimacy, have received much acclaim. In terms of music they generally like to keep things fairly minimal. Here is a clip from the score:
