Abstract
In this paper I detail my experience composing, orchestrating, conducting, and producing a live orchestral recording at London’s AIR Studios for an independent, live action short film. I begin with context about my musical background and how I ended up at Berklee Valencia. I then discuss the process of finding the film, titled This Sea for short, and working with the director to figure out the film’s musical needs. I detail my compositional process, including the composers I drew inspiration from, the way I transformed my simple ideas into an orchestrated score, the experience of conducting the recording session in London, my process of editing the session in post-production, and the feelings of self doubt I had to overcome along the way.
