Homecoming (OST) by Shook
Some time ago, I was asked to compose a soundtrack for a short animation film directed and animated by the talented Huamin Wen. I’m really happy with how it turned out!
The film follows a discontented woman who revisits her hometown, Shanghai, and collides with ghosts of her past—her younger self. It’s a surreal journey, and I’d love for you to check out the full short film. https://youtu.be/bkjDJPoC5s4?si=k6wuYoo2IjnkXh6t
Here is the OST!
Huamin Wen cited Masaaki Yuasa’s early work (Kaiba) as an influence, and the fanfare scene reminded me of Satoshi Kon’s Paprika. For the soundtrack, I aimed for a surreal, 90s KORG WAVESTATION vibe, inspired by Susumu Hirasawa and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Special shoutout to Matt Groening (The Simpsons) for supporting this project.
Hope you enjoy it—much love,
J, Shook
