Van Cleef & Arpels

An original score for Van Cleef & Arpels, written for a film following the paper artist Shelley Aldridge and the tunnel books she builds by hand, layered paper scenes that open one by one onto the maison's Sweet Butterflies pieces. An unhurried, swaying autumnal stroll, the music comes alive each time a book opens: the colour shifts, the spectrum widens, new instruments enter and interweave, before easing back into the walk. Birdsong and rustling leaves are woven through, drawing closer as each scene is revealed.

Part of an ongoing collaboration with Van Cleef & Arpels, spanning some eighty campaigns since 2021. The wider body of work can be found across the maison's channels.
