Epilogue to "Strange Little Song" features a cinematic string orchestra which actually comprises of a live string quartet augmented with virtual instruments. The song itself was inspired by the quote ...and I am out with lanterns, looking for myself, by Emily Dickinson.
"Counterpoint" is a bittersweet song about meeting the right person at the wrong time. It features two incredibly talented ladies, Mikayla Shirley as the lead vocalist and Hyejin Kim on the piano.
"Longing" is a short lyrical work for the orchestra. The repeating 5-note motif is based on the sentence I miss you, my dear, inspired by the distress of loving someone unreachable both in distance and in their heart. Recorded in the stunning Futura Productions studio in Roslindale, MA by the legendary John Weston, this piece features a chamber orchestra with minimal post-production.
This track was created as an exercise for an imaginary TV show presenting a contemporary Asian fusion restaurant in New York City. It aims to blend traditional Japanese sensibility in the melodic foreground with a backdrop of modern electronic production.
This track was created to practice scoring commercials. Inspired by the visuals, the electronic score aims to accentuate the vastness and beauty of the colorful universe and at the same time fit all of it into the new iPad Pro. Backed by a catchy groove, the different synthesized sounds seem to be floating and moving around in space. Some of the sound effects line up with the visual events to best tie together music and images. The audience is brought to Earth by introducing a subtle nightscape to the last section of the advertisement.
