“The music, like the film, cannot help but be elegiac, with rich, mournful sustained tones and ominous builds of sound. And yet an undercurrent of hope and positivity bubbles up,” writes Jennifer Kelly. www.tumblr.com/dustedmagazi... @leeranaldo.bsky.social @silvercurrent.bsky.social

"Decorations around an uprising, watery thoughts, filigrees of hope & defiance. Homemade instruments in a time of mass production. Simple, personal, life-affirmation music." Read @leeranaldo.bsky.social’s Q&A on life, interests & The System OST @thetonearm www.thetonearm.com/decorations-...
