AYA EBAN

Aya Eban features story, sound design and original music by multi-disciplinary artist NikNak, whose creative work ranges from DJ, turntablist and producer to composer, sound artist and podcaster.

Aya Eban follows our lead character who's stuck in a mundane and hectic city without peace... But as their ancestors call, they discover a power hidden within that helps them break free...

She developed the film in collaboration with storyboard and character design by Randy Duburke and animation by Peta-gaye Brown.

Describing the process of composing the music for the film, "I wanted to create two pieces that were different from each other but still helped to tell the story taking place” says NikNak. “The black and white piece is more electronic and symbolizes the repetitive nature of everyday life and its monotony, while the more orchestral piece that takes place later on is more cheerful, whimsical, and builds as more colours are introduced."
