about

Soundtrack for the film's 'Warmth 溫暖' by Taiwanese director Jay Chern.

The film deals will underage sex workers and focuses on three teenage girls who are sent to a rehabilitation center after having been caught by the police.

For the score, Aaken opted for retro synthesisers and 80's electronic pulses combined with atmospheric electric guitars and of course acoustic instruments to evoke the mental drifting and the disconnection of these young girls.
As often, just a portion of all the music was eventually used in the film.

Here is a selection of the music that was written for the film, 18 tracks which tell the story of these three girls and their coming of age.
