From the sound artist:
The alchemist is following his desire to turn base metals into gold to the exclusion of reality, shown by the disorganisation in the room and his ignored wife and children. I drew a parallel here with the work I do professionally as a sound editor; when I have to meet a deadline, my life takes a similar turn.
