8dio Stand Out Contest Submission: "The Jungle" by Juriy Nikitin

This was composed as part of a selection of tracks to accompany the signing of the register at my daughter's wedding.

8Dio Adagietto string chords were improvised and then layered to give space then I improvised the Virharmonic Bohemian Violin over the top for the melody.

Just type "0" in bandcamp to get it free :)
(That is unless you want to leave a tip for my mountain dew fund!)

This is a track I themed in The Shannara Chronicles, really great music in that series, definitely has influenced some of my recent writing style, so has the show dark matter, great show as well.

This composition describes the intense week of 15 major epileptic  seizures I had in 2015.

Thanx to the

This "esoteric sound library" gave great inspiration.

6th place Native Instruments competition 

"as a (Film/Media) Composer & Sound-Designer i'm always interested in different "genre's" of music.The music has to tell a story. I made this composition as a school assignment(I studied composition for the media at the University of arts in Holland) It's had to be a composition inspired by Thomas Newman. Because of all the "fake news"and more restrictions, we face today, it feels to me, we are living in a lie. The amazing "think for yourself question authority"quote by Timothy Leary opened my eyes when i was 17 years old. When i think about life it sometimes feels like i'm floating away on a bed of emotions and feel something that unites us all. The compositions starts as a small dream evolving into a reality.Waking up and not knowing where you are but at the same time you smell the unique scents from the middle east or the far east. Are you in a Dream or is this the beginning of a new chapter in your life?? It's all very philosophical but this is the best way to describe this composition.The real story is told by the composition itself.
