help me make a fake soundtrack
i have a project i have to do where i create a fake movie synopsis and pick 7-10 songs for a soundtrack
this movie is about a humanlike robot that gets thrust into being a 25 year old human in san francisco and has to struggle with jobs and people treating him poorly
then he gets fed up with everything after a while and moves to yosemite where he gets offered a low paying job as a trash collector and falls deeply in love with nature. one day while trash collecting a sudden crazy storm appears and hes never seen anything like it so he runs to the top of a mountain to witness it and eventually his mostly metal body gets struck by lightning and he iimmediately dies.
im trying to find a good mix of maybe like experimental synthy stuff that sounds robotic and then a good mix of very human music

BoC and Ulrich Schnauss sound pretty good for that.

Good recs, I've actually picked 3 BoC songs out for it already, any suggestions for Ulrich? Never listened to much of him.

i've only heard strangely isolated place, but it's good. Hauschka and Ben Frost are also worth checking out for electronic/origanic

Goes By by Emeralds seems like an amazing choice for when he's in the forest contemplating nature

I'm thinking some weird harsh noise could sound fitting for it
Maybe synth noise

some autechre and happy by pharell

spoiler alert: the humans are the bad guys in this one

Maybe it would be cool if the "human music" had an undercurrent of artifice to it, to suggest the robot's inability to integrate.
For example, "Ode To Joy" has always historically been considered the theme tune to human enlightenment. It's been the theme tune for lots of political parties and movements over the years. Maybe you could include this robotic version of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MCnnfXPSHw
For the story, perhaps what the robot can never understand is why human beings make illogical decisions. He always follows his programming and that's why he can't connect on a human level with anyone. Then when he sees the storm, it's illogical to stay in harm's way, but he decides to override his programming so he can stay to watch, because he finds it beautiful, thus learning what it means to be human?
Possible songs: anything from the utopia soundtrack, some Survivor, laurie anderson - o superman, something twinkly for the human parts like avril 14th

You definitely want some Morton Subotnick to highlight the mechanical parts

Maybe Alvin Lucier for uncomfortable first steps of the man/machine organism

Some Pan Sonic songs (especially the first disc of Kesto) would fit, same for a lot of the elseq series by æ
