I got the wonderful opportunity to work with Nina Brown on her 3rd year recital. Her piece was based on the mythos of Pandora's box and she extended this meaning to surround how we treat each other - with contempt and pettiness or genuine love and care. To get this across, she used 2 different composers, including myself, to make the different sections. I was asked to compose the second half of the piece, that was all about "hope" and the best parts of human relationships. So we traded back and forth for the kind of vibe she wanted with reference tracks and after creating a vague mock-up of the track, we messaged back and forth to make tweaks to it, sometimes with me coming into rehearsals to edit on the fly. Nina was fantastic to work with and had a really strong vision of what she wanted - but I felt like I got to slip in some stuff of my own including this waltz at the end of the section that she liked so much, that she choreographed new material for it!
"Thanks so much @Hannah I just listened to it and its perfect exactly what I needed thank you!" - Nina Brown You can listen to the final draft of the piece on my Soundcloud right here and the final performance in a later post. Soundcloud Link "Pandora's Hope"
