Director Anders Osterballe created this concept for an Illy Coffee commercial and brought it to Mark Escott for realization.

"The challenge I faced with this piece was to convey a sense of heightened reality. The sound design really needed to evoke these strong feelings and sensations that most of us are, unfortunately, all too familiar with! I tried a variety of techniques to mimic the over-sensitivity to stimulation that a hangover often provokes, ranging from edgy piercing sounds to equilibrium-skewing phase and flanging effects."
