Music Composition
A Stroll in a Grand Town
Seated at the piano, I struggled to find inspiration for a new melody. Then, I glanced into the living room, where my sister was watching "Paddington" yet again. Her laughter sparked my creativity, and I began crafting melodies to mirror the film's joyful spirit. Though I couldn't catch the movie's dialogue from my spot in the bedroom, her laughter and visual cues guided my composition. Each note matched the film's mood, mirroring Paddington's adventures in London with the Brown family. From his leisurely stroll to unexpected mishaps like the barbershop incident, my music captured the essence of the movie's memorable moments, enhancing its meaningfulness and charm.

Gordon Goose Medley
One afternoon, as I scrolled through music videos, techniques, and songs, a peculiar blue goose caught my attention. The Gordon Goose animation used humor, visual gags, and exaggerated character expressions to drive its story. Yet, I wondered if I could enhance the humor even more. After brainstorming and composing, refining the medley became a multi-iteration process. I revisited scenes, fine-tuning the musical cues to sync perfectly with the animation. I incorporated a variety of symphony orchestra instruments, including woodblocks and claves, into the composition.

Embers
Inspired by the tragic events of Pearl Harbor, "Embers" is a poignant musical reflection on the aftermath and resilience that emerged from the devastating attack. The title symbolizes a once-vibrant community reduced to smoldering ruins. The composition weaves mournful and hopeful melodies, combining orchestral and electronic elements, capturing the emotions of war, loss, and rebirth.
