The Composer's Journey -

This is my original score created for the Orchestral Tools competition "The Composer's Journey" #BerlinComposersJourney composed entirely using the Berlin Free Orchestra. Since I was new to this library, I took some time to explore and learn its strengths and limitations. I hope you enjoy the result! If you’d like to hear the score without sound effects and atmospheres, you can find the clean version on SoundCloud: link [  / the-composers-journey-berlincomposersjourn...  ] Now, a few words about the short film provided by the competition organizers (you can find it on Youtube searching for #BerlinComposersJourney hashtag) and why I chose the direction I did. From the very first scene, it was clear to me that this was no ordinary tale. It was... unsettling. The filmmakers left many subtle clues, which influenced my decision to approach the score with a darker tone. It might look like a creative block at first, but the protagonist’s hesitation and yearning for something were unmistakable. Leaving home seemed less a choice than a necessity for her. She rode through the city, her gaze darting in every direction - a search for meaning, or perhaps a sign. Then the first clue appears: the bike bell. It rings - not out of caution or to warn others - but seemingly on its own! She looks upward, not ahead, as if calling something into being. Here comes the second eerie sign: crows - ancient harbingers of death and dark magic - yet she smiles, a slow, knowing smile, tinged with something dark and triumphant, as if the crows answered her call. The story shifts abruptly. A kayaker appears, paddling silently down a river, his craft marked with the word “Dagger” - a name heavy with meaning. She follows him down the river. Suddenly, he vanishes. Gone without a trace. The river flows empty; we see an abandoned bike; dark shapes lurk beneath the water’s surface. The world spins, the sky fades to grass, and the spinning wheel of the protagonist’s bike signals a final, unsettling stillness. Beneath an ancient tree - the third eldritch clue, a place heavy with secrets and whispered rituals - she sits calm, confident, renewed. Here, something has awakened within her. The kayaker’s disappearance was part of that awakening, a quiet offering woven into the fabric of her journey. Not every composer’s journey is heroic. Some are darker. Much darker. ;)
