I wrote this piece as part of the GEMS Film Scoring program for which I was lucky enough to receive a scholarship! This is based on the film Jennifer 8, which was scored by my tutor Christopher Young, and I had a lot of fun trying to capture the same mysterious, eerie yet romantic mood that he did. My piece was performed and recorded by the RTVE Orchestra in Madrid in 2023.
