From the minds behind Searching comes Missing, a thrilling roller-coaster mystery that makes you wonder how well you know those closest to you. When her mother (Nia Long) disappears while on vacation in Colombia with her new boyfriend, June's (Storm Reid) search for answers is hindered by international red tape. Stuck thousands of miles away in Los Angeles, June creatively uses all the latest technology at her fingertips to try and find her before it's too late. But as she digs deeper, her digital sleuthing raises more questions than answers...and when June unravels secrets about her mom, she discovers that she never really knew her at all.A continuation of his work with the filmmakers of Searching, Julian wrote an experimental score, exploring the musical possibilities of machine-learning. He wrote his own code, took audio files and recompressed them with the worst possible MP3 converter about 5,000 times. Julian researched studies about the psychological effects that compressed music can evoke in humans that may not be present without compression. The time and frequency-based music contained different artifacts of compression, common with Zoom or video chats, creating a synth-driven score, with additional percussive, piano, vocal, and string elements. He discovered a microphone that records electrical interference off any type or machine and integrated it into the score.Part of the film is set in Columbia so he explored Columbia instrumentation, including a pan flute and a berimbau, modified and distorted so the listener wouldn’t even recognize the instruments.
