HIGHLANDS.

I wrote a piece of music inspired by my stay in the Scottish Highlands, drawing inspiration from artists such as Boards of Canada and Sigur Ros. I aimed to capture the sense of calmness and nostalgia, as well as the feelings of silence and unease that can come with being alone in such a peaceful setting. To create the piece, I improvised to a video I found on YouTube and added field recordings I made with my Olympus ME-31 recorder. The final result was meant to evoke emotions in the audience by capturing the essence of the Scottish Highlands through the use of music and sound.

SOUNDSCAPE. 

This is a project I made for a university assesment. My composition represents a labor of both music and atmospheres, I did my best to put and blend. Approximately half of these sounds were recorded by me, while the other half were sourced from free online resources. The paramount intention was to explore and navigate diverse atmospheres, emotions, and inspirations. The resulting piece stands as an open canvas, inviting the listener to engage with its multitude of elements and moods and to discover their unique interpretations within this sonic journey.

MNIEJSI. 

The first project is a song that reflects on the ease of dreaming during childhood and the longing for travel. The song was started before my travel to South America and finished after my return. It includes samples from conversations with local residents and field recordings of the Amazon jungle to create a more organic sound. The composition is a blend of dreamy and nostalgic elements, inspired by bands such as The Smiths and Mum.
