    "PIETAS" — Original Film Score for Dramatic Feature
    A deeply emotional independent drama exploring grief, loss, and the search for healing. My task was to create a score that would carry the internal emotional journey of the protagonist - a man coping with the loss of his child through puppetry performances in hospitals for critically ill children. The Approach: Rather than building separate music and sound design, I composed 5 original thematic pieces that wove a single, evolving leitmotif throughout the film. The score blended ethereal, elongated pads with organic instrumentation - violin, piano, and guitar - to create a soundscape that felt both intimate and cinematic. Every composition returned to the core theme, evolving it as the protagonist's internal state shifted. The Result: A soundtrack that didn't just accompany the visuals but became a character itself, guiding the viewer through the protagonist's emotional landscape. The score captured vulnerability, resilience, and the quiet hope embedded in his journey toward healing. Client Feedback: "Great work - everything is perfect. Thank you so much for this. It was wonderful working with you. I hope it's not the last time. I'll definitely recommend you to friends." — Margarita, the Director Produced in FLStudio FilmScore OriginalComposer DramaticScore EnsembleArrangement FilmComposer SoundtrackComposer IndieFilm
    Sound Balancing and Mastering for EDM Track
    An original EDM production needed final mix and master for streaming release across all major platforms. The Challenge: The track had strong energy and a powerful kick that drove the groove, but needed to be optimized for both impact and listenability across different playback systems. The brief called for -12/-11 LUFS integrated loudness with true peak at -1.1 dBTP or below, while maintaining punch and dynamics without the mix feeling compressed or fatiguing over repeated listens. What I Did: Mixed and mastered the full track to -11 LUFS integrated, true peak at -1.1 dBTP Used dynamic processing to maintain clarity and punch while keeping the overall sound open and breathable Worked collaboratively with the artist through feedback iterations to dial in the exact sound they were after Delivered release-ready master optimized for streaming (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube) The Result: A polished, competitive master that sits well in the streaming landscape without sacrificing energy or dynamics. The artist was happy enough to book multiple follow-up tracks. "Nazarii did an excellent job with the mastering of my track. He was professional, responsive, and took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for. He was also happy to make adjustments based on my feedback, and the final result sounded great. I’d definitely recommend working with Nazarii and will be using his services again for my upcoming tracks." — Steve, Independent Artist Mixed & Mastered in FLStudio MixingAndMastering EDM MasteringEngineer MusicProduction StreamingMaster ReleaseReady
    Original score and sound design for a fan-made animated FNAF film
    I composed the original music and designed the full sound palette for this project, aiming to stay true to the tense, unsettling atmosphere the FNAF universe is known for - while bringing my own creative voice to the score. The goal was to make the soundtrack feel like a natural extension of the game's world: building dread through slow-burning ambience, sudden stings for jump-scare moments, and a consistent sonic identity that mirrors the franchise's signature mix of dark synths, mechanical textures, and horror atmosphere. What I worked on: Original score composition, matching the pacing and tone of the film Full sound design: ambience, mechanical/animatronic sound effects, tension builders, stings Mixing and final audio polish for the finished film Produced in FLStudio.

    Full-length ukranian rap EP, written, produced, mixed, and mastered independently
    An alternative hip-hop / boom-bap project built around a "newspaper archive" concept, where each track functions as a standalone story about self-discovery, exhaustion, city life, and the struggle to stay afloat in the modern world. I handled the entire production: composing beats around samples of old Ukrainian songs, blending boom-bap and drumless textures to create a sense of lost time and early-2010s urban nostalgia, then mixing and mastering the full release to commercial streaming standard. What I worked on: Full beat production, sampling, and arrangement across the EP Songwriting and vocal recording Mixing and mastering for commercial release (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube) Creative direction - building a cohesive sonic identity around the release concept Link to all platforms: https://www.twine.net/signin Produced in FLStudio.

    Full-length ukranian experimental album, written, produced, mixed, and mastered independently
    A genre-blending album exploring inner landscapes through a mix of indie R&B, trap, and psychedelic rock. A different sonic direction from my previous EP work, showing range across styles rather than sticking to one lane. Each track was built to feel cinematic and intimate at once, like a frame from an old film: textured, personal, and slightly hazy. I handled the entire production process solo, from initial concept through the final master. What I worked on: Beat production and arrangement across three distinct genres (indie R&B, trap, psychedelic rock) Songwriting and vocal recording Mixing and mastering for commercial release Link to all platforms: https://www.twine.net/signin Produced in FLStudio MusicProduction IndieRnB Trap PsychedelicRock Mixing Mastering

    Original music and sound design for a 3D cinematic featuring a snake, set in a desert environment
    The brief called for two things working together: naturalistic creature sound design that made the snake feel real and physically present, and a short original soundtrack built around Middle Eastern/Arabic musical motifs to reinforce the desert setting and its sense of mystery and quiet threat. What I worked on: Sound design for the snake: movement, hiss, breathing, and other natural creature sounds tailored to the visuals Original score using Arabic-inspired instrumentation and scales to underline the desert atmosphere Balancing music and sound design so the track builds tension and mystery without overpowering the creature performance Final mixing to tie sound design and score into one cohesive audio experience Produced in FLStudio.
