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!

The Arrival (Act 1)

A Magical Wonderland

..........................................................................................................................
  The title "Radiant Soul Transcends" inspired a half drum and bass hip-hop beat that captures the essence of the human spirit. 
The composition starts with an upbeat rhythm, symbolizing the energy and vibrancy of life. As the music progresses, 
it slows down into a more contemplative hip-hop beat, symbolizing the introspection and self-discovery that comes with age.
.................................................................................................
   The inspiration for this piece also draws from the Angel scene in Alejandro Jodorowsky's movie, "Endless Poetry." 
The scene speaks of how the pure light of the human soul remains as one grows older. 
The music captures this sentiment with a transition from the outside of a rainbow hole, symbolizing the chaos and confusion of life, to the inside, where the human soul can be found shining bright. 
The final transition takes the listener outside of the rainbow hole and into a new dimension, representing the transcendence of the human spirit.

Soul's Radiance Transcends Chromatic Abyss.

Circe (Remake Edition

Cicre ( Remake Edition )

Circe [ Remake Edition | Flute: Sydän Laulaa  | Production : Thomas Nakas ]

In the mesmerizing symphony of existence, the melodies of our story unfold. Soar, the enigmatic traveler, emerges from the depths of a rainbow hole, a portal of swirling hues that signifies the chaotic tapestry of life's trials and tribulations. As he steps into the interior, a luminous realm of ethereal beauty, his gaze is met by an ever-burning spark deep within his being—a radiant soul yearning to illuminate the unknown.

Yet, destiny weaves its enigmatic threads, and Soar finds himself transcending beyond the limits of familiarity. In this new dimension, his essence entwined with the cosmic fabric, he discovers his form transformed. With a single eye, a unique vessel for perception, he navigates the vast expanse of this enigmatic universe. His face, once a reflection of identity, has now dissolved into the infinite abyss, leaving behind an eternal mystery.

In this boundless realm, Soar becomes both an explorer and a conduit of emotions. Every sight, sound, and touch reverberates through his ethereal existence, connecting him to the grand tapestry of life. Despite the loss of all that was cherished, Soar revels in the precious gift of discovery. He walks the uncharted paths of his new self, embracing the fleeting moments of joy, vulnerability, and awe.

Through the symphony of sensations, Soar unravels the profound truth that lies within the measure of a being is not confined to physicality or remnants of the past, but in the boundless spirit that resides within. And as he journeys further, drawn by the magnetic pull of the unknown, he carries within him the echo of a forgotten memory—an indescribable whisper that promises a revelation, a revelation that may redefine the very essence of his existence.

Soar, in this metamorphosis of forgotten identity and newfound wonder, dances with the universe, an embodiment of both humility and resilience. In his soul's yearning for purpose and connection, he embodies the human spirit's capacity to embrace the beauty of the unknown and, with every step, to unravel the tapestry of existence itself.

Beyond the Rainbow's Veil: A Transcendence and Discovery Journey

Beyond the Rainbow's Veil[ Art Cover by Ayed Kh ]

This album is the musical expression of my personal experience navigating through the coronavirus crisis.
Saudade – This Portuguese word describes deep nostalgic or melancholic longing for something beloved that might never be had again, and perfectly encapsulates my dismay at the thought that life might never again be as it was before.

The feeling of walking through the beautiful city of Berlin at dawn. 

Berlin is one of my favourite cities and carries a lot of emotional weight for me - it never sleeps, it is artsy, alternative and culturally diverse.
