ADVICE: MUSIC — ESPECIALLY ORCHESTRAL MUSIC — SHOULD BE LISTENED TO THROUGH SPEAKERS WITH A GOOD BALANCE OF BASS AND TREBLE. IF YOU LISTEN TO THESE PIECES ON A CELLPHONE, YOU’LL LOSE AT LEAST 40% OF THEIR QUALITY.

After days in Magnamea fighting to prove his innocence, Nathan returns to Albagan with his name cleared and the weight of injustice finally lifted. As he sees Virna and Dilem running toward him, he knows every effort was worth it. In their embrace, he finds what matters most: his home.

The Ballerina's Escape

Legacy Broken is a cinematic orchestral concept album that explores the psychological weight of legacy, family, and emotional silence. Blending restrained elegance with hypnotic minimalism, each track unfolds like a room in a haunted memory palace—echoes of conversations, legal inheritances, betrayals, and unresolved grief.

Muted strings, fractured piano motifs, trembling horns, and emotionally conflicted harmonic structures form a sonic language of unspoken tension and decaying tradition. The arrangements resist resolution, allowing silence, repetition, and space to carry as much meaning as melody.

This album is not just a score — it’s a portrait of inheritance, power, and the long shadows of memory. The finale song "Inheritance of Silence" concludes with a vocalized song about empty love, wealth and social responsibility. 

6. Haunted Memories

As I age I've found myself loving nature more and love being in the outdoors. This track has been inspired by my love of those simple, free things. It a calming, melodic track featuring the warmth and resonance of the cor anglais (English horn), supported by a gentle string and woodwind orchestration

The pieces in her albums aim to capture her reflections on life experiences relating to nature (i.e., swallows' journeys to their nests, the seasons, swans), living in London, dance, relationships with family and other loved ones, travel (i.e. to Berlin, Amsterdam), and dreams. 

Winds of the East (2025) is inspired by Shirley’s Chinese and Vietnamese heritage, her grandfather who was a distinguished painter and poet in China and her recent travels in South East Asia particularly in areas of natural beauty. 

Paradise (2023) is inspired by her experiences of swimming, diving, sailing, and surfing in the ocean, and she hopes that her music can further emphasise its importance. 
 
9 Lives (2023) is inspired by the beauty, charm and mysteriousness of cats. She lives in London with her five cats, and gain a lot of inspiration from them. This album aims to raise money for animal charities in areas which need support the most.
