Last year, I had composed a chaotic (in a good way) and joyful orchestral piece for Overthreaded- a wonderful animation commissioned by London International Animation Festival 2024 as the trailer for the Abstract Showcase.

I had so much fun to follow every tiny movement of threads, scissors, needles, and pins with the instruments 🪡📍🧵🧶

I'm very excited to see Overthreaded gaining more recognition! Here is where it's been featured in 2025:
@viennashorts : Cinema for the Youngest Programme
@anibar_official : Commissioned Works
@feinaki : Commissioned Animation Competition
@piccolo_festival_animazione : Visual & Music Competition

Very grateful to have been part of this project as a composer ✨
Director: @lysander_wong
Assistant Director: @kennnny033

Keep your eyes on us- more to come! by @lysander_wong
