A YOUNG copywriter’s ability to conceptualise the feeling of frustration into music has won him the “Best Original Music Award” at Malaysia’s first international film festival for youths.

Yaashdev Sasidharan, 26, who won the award at the Limkokwing International Youth Film Festival, said it was challenging to create music that conveyed something abstract like a specific emotion or thought.
