To express the loneliness and lack of direction experienced by the main character as she drifts through the busy streets of New York, I centered the score around piano, supported by sparse strings and minimal synth textures.
A simple, evocative piano motif unfolds in rubato before gradually transforming into a more insistent, rhythmic presence as the tension builds.
As the cyclical nature of her experience emerges, the theme returns in a final, solitary gesture.
