    Lamp Bulb - Ballet Production (Solo Series)
    Composer, sound designer, and mix engineer for "Lamp Bulb," a contemporary ballet production featuring four solo variations, each exploring distinct character archetypes and individual emotional journeys. I created original electronic and experimental music from concept through final stage delivery, managing the complete audio pipeline: composition, sound design, and live mixing for performance. This excerpt showcases one of four solo variations - a character study created entirely with electronic instruments and sound design. The piece demonstrates how electronic textures and contemporary soundscapes can enhance choreography and reveal the dancer's unique emotional landscape. Each solo within the production features distinct instrumentation: this variation employs electronic elements, while other solos integrate orchestral instruments, creating a diverse sonic palette across the full work. Performed by Panther Chamber Ballet at major Russian theatres. ballet composer sounddesign electronicmusic dancemusic contemporarydance mixengineer soundscapemusic liveperformance balletcomposition experimentalmusic performancemusic choreography originalmusic musicproduction theatremusic audiodesign musicforfilm composerforhire…
