Director's word
"Budapest Silo is an atmospheric short about a worker and his unspoken bond with an eerie and decaying grain silo in Budapest. The music landscape is inseparable element of creating not just a chalking, mysteries and alien atmosphere but also to bring the characteristics of the human protagonist alive, to make their inner world sensible, that is threatened by the surrounding powers. Building the music from the sounds of the actual location are magical and with the other tunes that are created by Andor elevates the film to somewhere transcendent to me."
