"Future Perfect" is an interactive story produced by Josh Feldman about a computer that becomes self-aware, destroying the virtual world it was programmed to create. Three interwoven threads tell the story from different perspectives. The action is presented through scenes of animated text.

The thread I produced music for takes place in a virtual world existing in the mind of one of the characters and in the computer. The music needed to be set apart from the other threads which depict a dark future where technology has replaced life as we know it. Layers of acoustic guitars create a ³human² landscape for the virtual world. The sounds steadily become dark and more mechanizes as the world collapses.
