'In Between Days' is a post-modern sonic+visual interpretation of the streets of Delhi by 'diF'(konrad Bayer + Ish S). The video's composition style has a animated approach to it. Here a split screen reflective effect is used to bring out other hidden spaces and activities of the city which are basically over looked in plain video and perception. The visuals impress upon the way the city is randomly constructing itself while bringing forth an objective image of the city in light of a larger philosophical dystopian quotient. 

For the 'sound design' unconventional material like car horns and construction sounds are used by 'diF' to compose the tracks, as these tracks in some ways represent the 'urban utopia/Dystopia of materialism hitting a brick wall. On the track 'Blue Hour' car horns which are the most common sound/noise  in urban Delhi's Soundscape are carefully manipulated to create a beautiful trumpet like sound which is juxtaposed with a piano (signifying materialistic utopia). The drums with glitchy highs are always going in and out of equilibrium of the Rhythm which in turn reflects upon a personal unbalanced experience of excessive cars and traffic jams in Delhi.
