For the Paramount+ documentary series “CTRL+ALT+DESIRE” (directed by Colin Archdeacon), the original score articulates the fracture between physical reality and immersive virtual fantasy. To mirror the delusion of an invented online persona the protagonist convinced himself was real, the music operates across two distinct sonic poles: stark, suspended ambient textures grounding the isolation of the physical world, juxtaposed against bright, glossy synthesizer sequences that reflect the seductive shimmer of the digital illusion.
