Charlie Chaplin's timeless and thought-provoking 1917 film "The Immigrant" is sonically reimagined by music composer Nicholas Escobar. A result of three months of intense work, Escobar's University of Edinburgh master's thesis takes a classic silent film masterpiece and adds an alarming and arresting modern sonic environment and score. 

Melodically this score draws from the 19th-century classical Romanic period (for example, Tchaikovsky) which was a genre of music that was very popular in the early film era. Other musical influences include Django Reinhardt, Miles Davis, Chopin and free jazz. 

Alongside this "classical" sound, Nicholas experimented with live-recorded sounds, modern synthesizers, dissonance, ambient soundscapes, distorted flute, live violin performed by Lily Honigberg and composed textures. 

He crafted complex beats and rhythms fashioned from live-recorded sounds. You will hear the sounds of a dog toy in the shape of a pig, a typewriter, an Argentine cowbell, a crow, a La Croix can, tissues and bubblewrap, among other things. In total over 800 separate sounds were recorded for this score. 

He recorded ambient soundscapes of streets in Barcelona, London, Edinburgh, Paris and Poland, Maine, as well as recordings of woods on Thompson Lake in Maine and in Killin, Scotland. 

He created sampled instruments out of objects like shells, a broken smoke detector a cricket and his dog Delphia's bark. 

He performed most of the score on his keyboard into his computer. Much of the music is directly improvised with the picture. 

The result is a score that shows the intense discombobulation and confusion that Chaplin's character is experiencing throughout the film. It dives into the character's psyche, at times representing a sonic memory of the character's past. The music becomes Chaplin's character.

This piece of music blends two distinct elements: soundscape recordings and edited string samples. 

I began the composing process by recording a number of soundscapes in Kent Island, Maryland. They were recorded on docks by the water, roads in the countryside and even a natural wetlands. Then I improvised string parts utilizing the Frozen Strings instrument from Spitfire LABS (the violin and the cello). A few days later, I recorded more soundscapes on Western Avenue in Washington DC, and layered them into the overall soundscape. 

I recorded the video in my backyard outside of Philadelphia with my iPhone. The plant that you see is an oak leaf hydranga. Just like with the soundscape, I just recorded and waited to see what would happen. 

The result of this project is an organic sonic environment.

My musical score for animator Mark Zerop's graduate film for the University of Edinburgh College of Art from 2020. 

I built this score around the flute, an instrument that I started playing when I was 11. While at the University of Edinburgh for my master's degree in film composing, I went to one of the recording studios and recorded myself improvising on the flute. I blended all these tracks together to create a forest of flutes, dozens and dozens of seemingly individual players. 

From that point onwards the score took off. I blended in orchestral elements like strings and a dulcimer and glockenspiels. I was really inspired by Mark's brilliant animation and real sense of atmosphere.

While in Ohio recently, I filmed a short video depicting fields and small houses outside of my mother's hometown of Troy. I decided to create a musical composition to accompany the film. A number of different elements make up this score: the flute, the banjo, bottles, an autoharp and soundscapes and sampled sounds.

The theme for The Sculptor named Tongbi from the Mowzie's Mobs Add-On for Minecraft. It underscores Tongbi's challenge, which involves the player doing parkour. For this theme I was inspired by and drew from traditional Chinese music. I also created interactive audio during the gameplay, crafting loopable smaller audio files, so that the music can adapt to each person'd individual playing pace. The piece grows as the player travels up the floating rocks.

Featuring the sounds of bikers in the neighborhood of Nørrebro in Copenhagen and the song of the European Blackbird singing in Assistens Kirkegård, this piano/soundscape hybrid is both meditative and dissonant. I improvised the piano solo largely in one go. Then added the soundscapes (plus effects) and a warping subtle synth. The result is "bikes and birds in the sky", an ode to my time in Copenhagen in June 2023.

My original score for Josh Simmons’s 2007 graphic novel “House”. 

I came across this graphic novel in Skylight Books in Los Feliz, Los Angeles last summer. I was immediately taken by the atmosphere, the lack of dialogue, the visual style and the story itself. I reached out to Josh over email and pitched the idea of me composing music to accompany his graphic novel and he accepted it. Over the course of a year I developed the sound world of the score, using a mixture of synthesizers, found object sounds and natural soundscapes. The result is an 11.5 minute tour de force that follows the narrative arc of the graphic novel.  

So, if you own the physical graphic novel, crack it open, press play, and start to read. 

If you don’t own the graphic novel, you can purchase it here from The Mansion Press. Or you can find it in your local bookstore. 

You can also listen to this music on your own and imagine your own story in your head. 

From The Mansion Press: “In the thick of a dense wood, a young man comes upon a decrepit house and two teen-aged girls. Deciding to explore the abandoned house together, Simmons captures the aloof ennui and deep curiosity of being a teenager. The trio quickly become entangled in a love triangle that is as tense and ominous as the house itself.”

The classic 1929 Mickey Mouse cartoon "The Haunted House" is one of the more famous early Disney sound cartoons. As a film composer, I find it to be a challenge to rescore early cartoons with new, original music. For this cartoon, I was tasked with writing new music for a long choreographed dance number that takes up the majority of the film. I also incorporated modern synthesizers with a more classic orchestral style. I'd like to make it clear that I do not own the rights to this film, or the content. This is merely a scoring exercise, and a way to show my admiration towards Disney and Mickey Mouse.

"Written in response to hostile British attitudes towards Jewishness, EZRA by Stella Green is an exploration of secular British Jewishness, trauma, memory and what it means to protect someone from themselves."

"Ezra" premiered November 13th and 14th at Bedlam Theatre in Edinburgh.

The original score by Nicholas Escobar features a mixture of synthesizers and flutes. He was attached to compose this play early in the process, and was able to attend rehearsals and really get into the headspace of the play. For the cue Zochrim, which takes place during a monologue by Ezra, Nicholas improvised the cue live during rehearsal, to capture the intricacies of Levi Mattey's delivery. Overall, the score blends into the fabric of the play, and draws the audience into the brilliant work by Stella Green.

He crafted complex beats and rhythms fashioned from live-recorded sounds. You will hear the sounds of a dog toy in the shape of a pig, a typewriter, an Argentine cowbell, a crow, a La Croix can, tissues and bubblewrap, among other things. In total over 800 separate sounds were recorded for this score.

He recorded ambient soundscapes of streets in Barcelona, London, Edinburgh, Paris and Poland, Maine, as well as recordings of woods on Thompson Lake in Maine and in Killin, Scotland.

He created sampled instruments out of objects like shells, a broken smoke detector a cricket and his dog Delphia's bark.

He performed most of the score on his keyboard into his computer. Much of the music is directly improvised with the picture.

The result is a score that shows the intense discombobulation and confusion that Chaplin's character is experiencing throughout the film. It dives into the character's psyche, at times representing a sonic memory of the character's past. The music becomes Chaplin's character.
