Film & docu
When scoring music for film, docu or other media, Aiko crafts diverse, in-depth soundtracks, balancing between originality and emotive storytelling. To achieve this, he associates different elements from the narrative or a scene and explores the sonic realms of related instruments and objects.
Communication with the filmmaker is crucial in the becoming of a meaningful soundtrack.
