Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment, Education
    paper New Lands In Sight

    An orchestral work composed for the European Recording Orchestra in Sofia, Bulgaria. Inspired by a scene from 1492: Conquest of Paradise and re-scored with my own interpretation.

    paper Campos de Melancolía

    Music composed for a woodwind section.
    This work is inspired by 20th-century Spain, from the 1930s to the 1940s. It is inspired by its pain, by the conflict and confrontation it experienced, but at the same time, it is inspired by its spirit of freedom and hope, the hope and vitality of a people who refuse to be destroyed and who embrace their past and their culture no matter what.

    paper A Girl in a Fortress

    The songs on Golden Cinnamon’s new EP entitled “A Girl in a Fortress”, came about as an independent initiative to compose a series of songs inspired by the short film of the same name by director Erik Morales.
