Artist statement
I compose music as a way to materialize ideas and create stories, where I can think of how different elements need to be crafted and assembled together. This is a deep need that I feel, which allows me to express personal emotions in a more complete manner. This is why I aspire to become a successful orchestrator, as I find this art one of the most enjoyable and rewarding activity as a musician.
The music I compose takes its roots in observation and imagination. I find the contemplation of nature and colossal architecture humbling and inspiring. This gives me a sense of awe and wonder, a timeless experience that can fuel my creativity and form the seeds of a potential musical idea. In addition, I find that interacting with various media is a great way to stimulate my imagination while having fun. When I compose music, I always try to expand ideas and vary them throughout the piece, in order to create a musical journey that the listener can embark on and enjoy.
I want to explore this new life as a composer, working and making great music professionally for a film or game studio. In parallel, I also want to reach a certain musical freedom, where I can liberate myself through music, letting my ideas be expressed without any specific boundaries. That’s why I think finding the right balance between creating music for media with specific requirements in mind, while keeping it personal with a certain musical freedom is a necessary challenge.
