Original orchestral score composed and synchronized to the final act of Sergei Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin, conceived as a centenary tribute to one of the most influential films in cinema history.

The project was developed following a request to orchestrate and score the final sequence, with the intention of live presentation in a concert setting, requiring precise synchronization and sustained large-scale dramatic control.

These excerpts present two contrasting moments from the score, highlighting both the intensity of the climactic material and the structural continuity across the sequence. The writing focuses on long-form tension, thematic development, and detailed orchestral balance in direct relationship with the visual narrative.

The work has been shared privately with established film directors and industry professionals, including Neil Jordan, receiving very positive artistic feedback.

Short orchestral excerpt for string ensemble focused on sustained musical development and expressive phrasing.

The piece explores gradual dynamic shaping, voice leading, and harmonic tension within a slow, continuous texture. Particular attention is given to balance between inner voices and melodic projection, as well as to the overall coherence of the string writing.

The excerpt is conceived as an intimate, emotionally driven introduction, with a clear emphasis on legato articulation and long-form continuity.

A solemn and noble orchestral piece built around clear thematic material, strong harmonic grounding, and controlled dramatic development.
