Abstract Soundscape 01


So this is a modified version of a comissioned piece I made for an experimental short film by my friend and creative colleague, Ahmad Samara. I thought it came out very adaptable to different situations image and content-wise.
It could even be used on its own as a kind of an acoustic "brain-cleaner". If you need your ears to be cleaned out of a repeating annoying song, an affliction also known as "having an earworm"- try this out. It worked for me. Now I just think about the long echoes in the track, and that's somehow soothing. The picture I chose to go along with it is of one of my favourite subjects: street lamps shining through trees at night. I think it fits with the whole nocturnal feel.

Enjoy.

Zazuka is going to....Soundtrack_Cologne

Soundtrack_Cologne is a music congress that happens every year in the beautiful gem of North Rhine Westphalia, Cologne. I am lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time so I decided to go!

Among other things, I'll get to see "Coraline" soundtrack composer Bruno Coulais in an open discussion and take part in a workshop by video game soundtrack composer Jason Graves.

So excited! I fattened up my fish from the Cannes days and gave her the colours of the congress :D
