Name: Let Our Eyes Adjust by The Celestial Mechanic in Starlight Vol. 3
Duration: 2 min 29 s
Description: DR05 for string quartet, solemn with a tinge of energy.

Exquisite string work! Arcangelo Corelli would be proud!  Lovely arrangement!  BRAVO! ⭐🥇🔝🎯💜💜💜💜🔁

The third volume of my score for Doctor Who: Starlit Saga brings a similar vibe to the first two, but it's also on a higher technical level and has some of my favorite orchestrations I've done thus far. I think it's a blast!

Starlight Vol. 3

Deadly Strangers - Ron Goodwin

A dark orchestral variation of DR05 with a solo for our new operatic soprano. I had a lot of fun writing and arranging this one.

The Shadow Darkens

Resurrected from the grave, and an orchestral/choral variation of RA10 from Mind the Analog. This arrangement was originally written last year, so I'm delighted to finally release it!

Footprints in Sand

DR05 for string quartet, solemn with a tinge of energy.

Let Our Eyes Adjust

This is a big action piece for a big action setpiece. I didn't know at first how long the scene in question would be, so I made a few adjustments during the post-production process.

Dysphoria

This episode starts off with a short fanfare for orchestra and chorus, and BFLA01, a theme originally written for the Omnibus project, was very much up to the task!

If Their Faith is True

Two sonatas that transport the listener on journey from Romantic period piano to Baroque melodies and back again.

Track 1 Movement I Ardor & Echo (Back)

This album is a heartfelt musical journey dedicated to the people of Cyprus and the dream of unity on one island. Blending Greek Cypriot, Turkish Cypriot, and the other ethnic groups that shape Cyprus, along international influences, it weaves together traditional melodies, peace songs, and instrumental works to create a cross-cultural tapestry of hope, memory, and togetherness.

The opening track, “Unite (3 Languages)”, sets the tone with a call for harmony across the divide. From the Cypriot folk essence of “Psintri Vasilicha” and “Ehe Via Panagia” (from Constantinople) to the deeply reflective “San Ton Metanasti” (“Like a refugee on your own land”), the album captures both the pain of displacement and the longing for belonging.

Nature and identity shine in “Hrisso Brasino Filo” (“The golden-green tree of Cyprus”), a symbol of the island’s beauty, while resilience is echoed through the world-famous protest song “Bella Ciao,” here sung in Turkish. Instrumental gems like “Scherzo Petahto” (a dance piece) and “Ora Kali” (a traditional wedding song) bring moments of joy and festivity.

International classics are honored as well, with the moving “Schindler’s List” theme—widely recognized as a song of peace—and the serene “Meditation” by Massenet, adding a universal dimension of reflection and healing.

The journey closes with “Eshen Vereve / Dillirga,” a duet of Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot folk traditions intertwined, symbolizing shared roots and the possibility of reconciliation.

Each track speaks to Cyprus’s cultural richness and the enduring desire for peace. This album is not just music—it is a bridge, a dedication to unity, and a tribute to those who believe in living together as one.

Schindler's List

"For the Love of a Queen" is a slow and emotional orchestral piece. Strings take the lead, supported by subtle woodwinds and deep cello harmonies. The music unfolds with tenderness and melancholy, like an ode to love and devotion.

"For the Love of a Queen" est une pièce orchestrale lente et émotive. Les cordes y occupent une place centrale, soutenues par quelques bois discrets et des accords de violoncelle profonds. La musique se déploie avec douceur et mélancolie, comme une ode à l’amour et à la dévotion.

For The Love Of A Queen

Official Soundtrack Album Description

This album unfolds as a complete sonic journey, resonating with human drama and translating the profound story of a man confronting the inevitability of death into music that touches memory and emotion. The score was recorded with a distinctive orchestral spirit, blending modern textures with classical depth to reflect both inner tensions and poetic moments throughout the film.

Music and Narrative

The music does not merely accompany the picture but emerges as a fifth character in the story, voicing what words cannot express. It moves seamlessly from the intimacy of solo piano, to the hushed presence of strings, and into the full surge of the orchestra—tracing the emotional contours of existential struggle, isolation, and reflection.

Orchestral Approach

Strings convey human fragility and vulnerable moments.

Woodwinds add emotional depth and a dreamlike breath amid the harshness of reality.

Overall Tone of the Album

The soundtrack feels like a contemplative journey, traveling from silence to eruption, from fear to acceptance. More than a mere accompaniment, it stands alone as a musical experience—capable of evoking the film’s essence even apart from the screen. It unites a global cinematic sound with the unique spirit and atmosphere of Dubai and its desert landscapes.
