Creating the score of 'Tienminutengesprek'

 In 'Tienminutengesprek,' we delve into the world of a primary school teacher who has reached her limit with overprivileged parents and children. Her frustration escalates to new heights, and what better way to capture that sentiment in music than by utilizing everyday objects commonly found in school? We incorporated sounds like slurping juice boxes, ticking marbles, and nervous scissors to translate her annoyance into a sonic experience.

For the climactic scene in which the teacher explodes and becomes super aggressive, we collaborated with percussionist Dominique Vleeshouwers to incorporate tribal sounds through ethnic percussion. Additionally, we introduced over-the-top elements such as a siren to reflect the teacher's maniacal behavior.

Join us in this short behind-the-scenes video where we explore the process of creating the music and sound design for "Tienminutengesprek".
