THE MUSIC: The story and the main character are both very odd. Switching between fantasy and reality and you are not always sure where you are. The are a lot of prose-like monologues, but the ongoing theme is this longing for happiness and the perfectionism of Vifill. I decided to go minimalistic and thought that the piano would be best to intepret the loneliness and desire of this strange jewelmaker. A simple but beautiful melody and one-note repetition are appropriate for his desires and determination to achive his good and beautiful intentions. I simplified it even more for a xylophone version of this theme that blend occationally with the piano to give it more dreamlike athmosphere.
