Techno elements, Why I Added Techno Elements When Both Characters Share the Scene？

I chose to introduce techno-inspired sound elements in the scenes where both main characters appear in the same space to emphasize the shift in energy, tension, and psychological complexity. Compared to the more ambient or melodic textures used in individual character scenes, the techno sound introduces a sharper, more rhythmic layer that mirrors the interpersonal dynamics and underlying manipulation between the two.

Techno, with its repetitive beats, synthetic textures, and cold tonality, adds a mechanical and emotionally detached atmosphere. This matched the mood I wanted to create: the characters aren’t showing true intimacy or emotional connection—instead, they’re performing a role, working together in deception. The techno rhythm helps underline this sense of strategic cooperation, where every move and word is calculated like part of a game.

Additionally, techno’s urban and industrial aesthetic complements the broader theme of the film—young people living in a restless, fast-paced, and alienating city environment. When both characters are in the same space, the techno sound acts almost like a pulse of the city itself—highlighting their shared survival instinct and the artificiality of their actions. It enhances the feeling that they are not in control of their fate, but rather caught in a larger system, moving forward like cogs in a machine.

Finally, the use of techno in these moments creates a sonic contrast to the more emotional, string-based moments earlier in the film. It marks a shift from inner emotion to external performance—signaling to the audience that something has changed in the energy of the scene. The cold, repetitive nature of the sound also hints at the underlying emptiness of their scheme, contributing to the film’s darkly ironic tone.
