Beautiful composition and orchestration, Stefan!

Der fantasievolle, mystische Charakter kommt sehr gut rüber. Genauso ambivalent wie du schreibst. Ein toller Score!

In this track I used the Cinematic Studio Solo Strings (1st Violin and Viola) for the first time. In some passages I also used the Spitfire Solo Violin. Spitfire Chamber Strings and Spitfire BBCSO were also used.

“It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. If I’d known, maybe I’d have kept tighter hold of them, and not let unseen tides pull us apart.”

Never Let Me Go

The northern hemisphere is still in the middle of winter but we can dream of all those lovely warm days - past and future - on the beach with our loved ones!

Leaving Rome (Orchestral Version)

Composed by Debra Buesking
Piano: Debra Buesking
Orchestration: Stefan Kraft

When I heard this piano piece by Debra Buesking for the first time, it touched me deeply. It then inspired me to accompany her piano with an orchestral arrangement.

This instrumental piece evokes the elegance and depth of a bygone era, where emotions are conveyed not through words, but through the gentle flow of music. With tender piano melodies and a touch of wistful romance, it paints a picture of unspoken love, fleeting glances, and hearts entwined by fate. Melancholic yet filled with hope, this composition is a musical reflection of longing, passion, and the beauty of memories that never fade.

Thank you Debra for your inspiring music! @debra_buesking

Lovely Love

"The Last Dawn of Eloria" is a vibrant and emotional orchestral piece that captures the grandeur and mystery of a long-lost civilization. Driven by flowing arpeggios, dynamic harmonies, and soaring melodies, the music paints a vivid picture of a culture's final, awe-inspiring sunrise — both majestic and bittersweet. With its exotic undertones and cinematic energy, it invites listeners into a forgotten world full of wonder, pride, and farewell.

The Last Dawn of Eloria

Stefan Kraft is a composer and producer in the realms of film, ambient, and orchestral music. With a career spanning over four decades, he has cultivated a unique sound that resonates with the cinematic and emotive qualities of his influences—including celebrated composers such as A. Silvestri, T. Newman, J. Goldsmith and J. Newton Howard.

His musical journey began in the vibrant rock scene of the 1980s, where he showcased his talents as a guitarist and keyboardist in various bands until 1997. This foundational experience in rock music not only honed his technical skills but also instilled in him a profound understanding of composition and arrangement, which would later inform his work in film music.

Transitioning from rock to film scores, he has established himself as a pianist and producer, crafting evocative soundscapes that enhance storytelling through music. His dedication to the art of composition was recognized in 2024 when he received the prestigious HOFA College award for excellence in composition and production quality.
