As part of an academic project, I developed an alternative musical proposal for a cinematic scene from the video game Destiny. To do this, I used a video clip extracted from the internet without its original music, over which I composed my own soundtrack in order to explore new narrative possibilities.
The piece, slightly over two minutes long, was created by applying composition and orchestration techniques developed during the course. My objective was to convey emotion and a clear sense of purpose, integrating the music with the action and visual rhythm of the sequence.
The orchestral approach combines strings, percussion, and brass that provide strength, urgency, and character. Each variation in harmony and each instrumental entry responds to the movements and emotions shown on screen, seeking to reinforce key moments and heighten narrative tension.
It was an experience that allowed me to experiment with the relationship between music and image, and discover how an alternative soundtrack can offer a new interpretation of an already familiar scene.
