Film Scoring notes: Essentially an underscore to allow the melancholy and upsetting dialogue and action to take centre stage. A few motifs support the key characters. “Jay”  has an unsettling accompaniment to reflect her unnerving journey attached to a rocket. “Stitch” has a solid chordal sequence to represent his persistence, wisdom and ability to be in the middle of distress. 

What a fantastic film to score. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing the music! Cheers, Rob
