Some imaginary projects I'd be a good fit for

a foggy pine forest

  1. A dramedy film about a struggling painter who rents a remote cabin in the desert to try one last time to create a masterpiece before giving up art for good. She learns a lot about herself in the process. Music: sparse and dreamy, with lots of echoey woodwinds, banjo, and string harmonics.

  2. A hand drawn 2D game where you are exploring a dark, dense, foggy forest, with occasional fireflies and bioluminescent mushrooms. You occasionally see mysterious cloaked figures at the edge of the screen, and eventually you find a cult gathering in the deepest part of the woods. Music: ambient synth pads that build into pulsing synth arps as you get closer to the cult.

  3. A documentary about exploring abandoned concert halls and music venues. Music: a string quartet, switching between unsettling dissonance and heart-wrenching "On The Nature Of Daylight"-esque beauty.

  4. An informative podcast about why AI art and music is so harmful for the environment, creative people, and humanity as a whole. Music: good, human-made.

  5. An animated film exploring different absurdist ideas of what an afterlife might be like. Each idea is written by a different writer, and the art and animation styles for each one are completely unique. Music: each scenario will have completely different instrumentation, chord progressions, and overall feel, but astute listeners will notice a leifmotif that sneakily pops up at some point in each of them.
