## A music-to-picture commission

In 2022, Helena Rubinstein commissioned original music from me for the
commercial film *The Box*. My role covers the musical composition: the
film, its images, and its edit remain the work of the brand and its
production team.

The format demands instantly legible writing. The music must follow the
progression of a short edit, support the product's identity, and build
continuity without turning the film into a standalone musical showcase.

## A collaboration distinct from PX50

This page stays separate from [Helena Rubinstein: PX50](/en/project/helena-rubinstein-px-50/)
because the two commissions prove different things. *The Box* is
synchronization and music-to-picture composition work. PX50 is a
fifteen-minute suite written for an event, delivered in two weeks and then
integrated into FMOD.

## Notes

- Written for the film, not the shelf: An original piece of music composed for the brand film, not a library track added after the fact.
- Follow the edit, don't cover it: The composition accompanies a short commercial edit and stays readable without overshadowing the product.
- One commission leads to the next: This first collaboration sets up the PX50 commission from Helena Rubinstein in 2024.
