Instrumentation
String ensemble with sustained electronic textures (Alva Noto contribution). Slow harmonic rhythm.

Sakamoto's string writing carries the film's emotional weight; Alva Noto's electronic layer provides the cold, industrial-feeling counter-texture that mirrors the visual emphasis on natural-light hostility.
