Beautifully atmospheric and so utterly compelling to listen to. Well done!

Epic sci-fi movie feel, my favourite kind of soundtrack music.

Sounds like a space movie or disney plus commercial.

Great and intense soundtrack. Congratulations!

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!

Fearless

It’s Been a Hell of a Day 

Verse 1:
I saw her in the subway, she was waiting for the train, carrying no umbrella and she was dripping from the rain.  

She had a broken heel, and I could smell her broken heart.  

She limped from within like everything in life had gotten too hard.  

She must have spilled her coffee, she was bitching bout a stain.

It’s when she started laughing, I knew the tears weren’t far away


Chorus 
That’s when she said, it’s been a hell of a day, and even though I’m broke, I got the pain at the edge of a smile, sure feels better than the joke.  You can run out of luck and still have hope, no you can’t let it keep you down


Verse 2:
She turned to me and shrugged, wiped a black tear from her cheek, her bottom lip started trembling and she was shaking in her knees.   

She lit a cigarette and here come the police, she took a drag and flicked it at the track and the policeman let her be.  

Sat down on a bench and tossed a quarter to a bum, and she said pay no mind to this soul of mine because I ain’t got it bad as some


Chorus 2:
It’s been a hell of a day and you might want to die; you’ve been bit by the dog and someone spit in your eye, may be feeling cold and bitter, want to lay on the track, and kiss all your sorrows goodbye.


Chorus 3:
It’s been a hell of a day, and even if you’re broke, just pick up a stick, grunt, and give life a poke.  You can run out of luck and still have hope, no you can’t let it keep you down.


Chorus 4:
It’s been a hell of a day, well how you like that shit, she stood back up man and blew me a kiss.  Then she walked on past that yellow line and left all her troubles behind

La dee da dee da …

Every time I look in the mirror
I see less and less of me
There was a time when I believed
I could be anything I dreamed

I'm - not really sure anymore
I'm - not really sure anymore

I gotta get
Back to the treehouse
Back to the ball field
Back to the bicycle jump we made
When we were young and stupid
But we could fly

Summertime blankets
Covered with sand
An afternoon empire
From our lemonaide stand
We were young and stupid
But we could fly

Every now and then I remember
The spark I used to see
A world of limitless horizons
No boxes around me

I'm - not really sure anymore
I'm - not really sure anymore

I gotta get
Back to the treehouse
Back to the ball field
Back to the bicycle jump we made
When we were young and stupid
But we could fly

That summertime blanket
Fashioned into a cape
We'd soar from the roof
Despite the bruises and scrapes
We were young and stupid
But we could fly

Young & Stupid

The king of Indie Go made a fool of me 
He threw me out on the street. Jo cheated on me.
I hate them both. They must be happy.
I'm laid down on the floor. Drunk and fuzzy.

I thought I was becoming an authentic star. 
The new rock czar. The best by far.
What a pity! I made a fool of me. 
I'm just a dirt. Completely silly.

I wish I was an authentic star. 
Truly recognized. In the state of art. 
No one listens to my voice here
With no success, I go home tonight.

The Rise And Fall Of The Street Singer

Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.
Down, down, down.

The value of your virtue.
Is decided by someone.
Whom on a glancing glance at you.
Decided you were wrong.
"You'll never be a prince or king.
You can not wish for everything.
You'll not amount to anything.
There's nothing in this life."

Now, there's a lesson somewhere. 
But, I don't think it's begun.
And I can't help from smiling.
As I'm sitting 'neath the sun
"I won't worship commodities.
I feel like doing as I please.
Don't fancy falling, sprawling.
Pleasing every single one."

I declare that there is nothing I can do to win.
Put out there, that I won't try.
Don't know where to begin.
I declare that I will make the best of what I have.
I declare I don't agree that everything is bad.
I declare that I will take what I can get for free.
I declare that looking down is not the remedy.
I agree that any pen can conquer any knife.
I will not take your holiday.
I'd rather live a life.

Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.
Down, down, down. 

Oh, mother won't you give me.
Some of your advice for free.
Because, when I tried to join them all.
They up and raised the fee.
"I'll never find the golden key,
Upon the ledge of destiny.
Some people are just born lucky.
And I'm not one of them."

I'll never be a player.
Who sits playing his french horn.
I'd never be a doctor.
In the caste where I was born.
"Seems while we choose our destiny.
We only choose periphery.
There's many things you could not be.
Whatever choice you took."

I declare in spite of this, I'm aiming for the win.
I believe that at the starts, the right place to begin.
I declare that I might fly before I learn to run.
I believe that everything is okay in the sun.
I declare that I won't work, to work another another day.
I believe there's gotta be some other better way.
I declare that any pen can conquer any knife.
I declare through everything. 
I'm gonna live a life.

Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.
Down, down, down.

I Declare
