Someone once said that symphonic orchestra is the most sophisticated musical instrument humanity ever invented. And I always felt like this is an ultimate challenge for a composer to write music for such a giant. I started my first shy attempts to compose orchestral music a few years ago. Of course, at that time it was all done using digital libraries. I did dream that one day I may experience the thrill of hearing a live orchestra performing my compositions but that was truly an ephemeral dream, no actual plans to do it. Until now.

This summer my husband and I took a composing course (focusing on film composing). As a part of that course I had a homework: to compose a piece for a string orchestra. I chose the solo piano piece I wrote earlier this year as a foundation. It took a few evenings to come up with the orchestral arrangements - again, using digital libraries... at first! But then my husband said that he feels like this piece deserves to be recorded with live orchestra. And so it happened - two months ago we hired a session orchestra from Budapest. We only had half an hour session to record 2.5 minutes of this composition. Gosh, it was such an amazing experience! When I heard 40 musicians playing the harmony I burst in tears. Then I was shocked again to learn that my composition was nominated for Hollywood Music in Media Awards.

I called this piece "Distant Memories". It was written during one of the lockdowns when I was on the edge of breaking down. I devoted it to my mom, who lives on the other side of Atlantic but she used to come here every year.. until 2020.. and then 2021.. I hope we will see each other next year. But meanwhile all we have are those "distant memories".

The original piano solo version is coming next week!

Lyrics:
What they gonna say (oh)
They acting like they never seen me
I live to see another day (whoa)
I know that they wanna be me

This world is pretty evil, Imma part of it
Thank goodness I wasn't really the start of it
They call me illegal, I like the thought of it
I live reckless sorta like the college kid (ooh)
Like an eagle yeah I'm dominant
Thank goodness I wasn't really the opposite
They call me illegal, I like the thought of it
I live reckless sorta like the college kid (ooh)

Like an S.A.T. man you can put me to the test
Let me get it off my chest man im out here with the best
Yeah I'm lo-looking for leverage dawg I ain't looking for rest
Got the city on my back I guess you can say I'm blessed.
I got what you need
This is what I bleed what bleed
Let me plant the seed
You see what I see what I see
Ain't no questioning
Leader of the pack
If you disagree head straight to the back (uh)

My trophies in front
Day ones on my side
Foes to my back

Building my strength and chi
Nobody's stopping me
I call it c'est la vie

This world is pretty evil, Imma part of it
Thank goodness I wasn't really the start of it
They call me illegal, I like the thought of it
I live reckless sorta like the college kid (ooh)
Like an eagle yeah I'm dominant
Thank goodness I wasn't really the opposite
They call me illegal, I like the thought of it
I live reckless sorta like the college kid (ooh)

GROOVE BUSTER

A lonely flower lost in her own thoughts, inevitably carelessness will take control of her actions, over and over.
So originally the goal behind this track was having it be 110 bpm, start with a slow piano intro that would develop into more electronic drops with saw stacks and such, but I randomly decided to try it at 182 bpm and ended up liking the idea a lot more and just deciding to continue on that path for writing the song, and while doing so i ended up focusing a lot of on the thematic side of the piece, which i wrote with a story in mind first, which was one about downfall into melancholy/corruption of mind represented under the form of a flower, thus why the title, and is also why I wanted to be some parts to feel really glitchy and is how I ended up choosing some elements of the song like the operatic voice towards the end and the outro specifically, as well as some of the sound design focusing a lot on down sampling elements, then after that pretty much focused on making everything feel as Artcore possible.
Overall had a lot of fun making this, although piecing all of the individual ideas was pretty hard, especially when it came to writing the verses, but still pretty proud of how it turned out and I hope you guys will enjoy and be able to feel what I was trying to portray in the song!
