”What Good Shall I Do This Day?” Every morning Benjamin Franklin asked himself this simple question, as a virtuous routine. I found this quote while reading on the daily habits of great men and after I had started to compose the piece already. I instantly felt that this sentence would make a perfect title. The vision I had first was a joyous piece, full of benevolent energy and the kind of mood you feel when you wake up well rested, have a nice breakfast and begin your day with enthusiasm, deciding what you aim to achieve by the end of the day. 

Everyone can make this question one’s own. I believe it is fundamentally universal. Not only was Benjamin Franklin one of the Founding Fathers of the U.S.A. but also a man who constantly wanted and worked to improve himself. In other words, he can be an inspiration for us all to try to become better individuals and to accomplish great things. One step after another, making a difference thanks to constant effort, with courage and patience.

The music of the piece isn’t programmatic in nature. There are three united movements, almost permanently driven by a vigorous rhythmic pulse. The piece begins with a dynamic, lively mood, and then moves to a shining theme both fanfare-like and swinging. The music ends with a joyful dancing pace before it concludes triumphantly.

What Good Shall I Do This Day? (Midi rendering)

Cette pièce a été inspirée par la lecture du livre du philosophe américain Michael Lynch, duquel j’ai emprunté le titre.

A une époque où les émotions sont considérées quasiment comme une valeur absolue, où parfois l’expression de celles-ci se déchaîne sur les réseaux sociaux, j’ai trouvé que rappeler la valeur de la raison prenait tout son sens. La raison est une faculté humaine universelle, et qui a vocation à nous rassembler, qui nous permet de rechercher la vérité, et de nous mettre d’accord. L’esprit des lumières est également convoqué, ainsi que la capacité de la raison à clarifier les pensées, à sa capacité de discernement des émotions, à trouver l’ordre à partir du chaos. L’idée maîtresse de clarification progressive traverse la pièce, à travers différentes formes. Au-dessus de formes mouvantes culmine une énergie lumineuse, et après un apogée sonnant comme une célébration s’ensuit un mouvement rapide, empreint d’une humeur joyeuse : la joie de comprendre, la joie du partage, la joie du rationnel.

Trying to reproduce a composer's style or esthetic is part of the training as a film music composer.
Like for Subnautica, I've done the same exercise with the game Minecraft. C418, the original game composer, has his own unique style and, it was definitely very interesting to reproduce!

Gravity is a piece about letting go and embracing change. Musicians always tell you that their latest music is the best they have ever written, so this might be unusual to hear, but this track is simultaneously my most and least favorite piece of music i have written in recent years.

A few months ago i had some pretty traumatic experiences that made me unable to focus on any creative work. When i finally sat down to make something, i didn't wanted to write anything significant or important, i only wanted to experiment with some new sounds and ideas. This piece was almost finished in a few hours. I wanted to widen the palette of the sounds i'm using, introducing new bass instruments, a new approach to create drum tracks and also trying out a i - bVII - i - ii chord progression, which i believe is extremely rare to find.

First i was hesitant to even share this one because i feel it is very generic and predictable in many ways, yet somehow it captured perfectly my state of mind after the wounds of last year. Sometimes you just have to accept that things change around you and stop hold on to your hurt feelings, so your mind and body can be at the same place again. Far from the place that pulls you down.
I am listening to it for weeks now and somehow feel better every time. It is a very strange adventure to me, but there you go...

Humanity - Chapter I

Wings (by Thomas Bergersen)

My name is Nicolas Berland, I'm 23 and I'm currently a pianist, conductor and composer of film music and video games.
I started music at the age of 4 and composition at 14.
In 2020, I joined the film music training course at the Valence conservatory in France with professor Nathanaël Bergèse, and I was lucky enough to compose the soundtrack for the film "Elise" by Abigael Giroud in 2021, then L'Enfer C'est les Autres by Mathilde Chevrier in 2022.
My music is also used in numerous internet videos and a play in 2016.
My years of experience enable me to compose in many styles of music, so I can adapt to the needs of the on-screen project.
