KANARINI
This unique and very artistic animation tells the story of miners who in the past used canaries as alarms, information about danger.
To best express the emotion and atmosphere, I decided to concentrate to factory sounds, dirty sounds, and a simple melodic line played on a synthesizer.

Poem: We are nature, nature is us
I had the pleasure of collaborating with BluBlu Studios on a non-commercial campaign for the World Wildlife Fund — a beautifully crafted stop-motion animation illustrated frame by frame with colored pencils by the exceptional artist Natasza Cetner. The film is inspired by the poetic text “We Are Nature” and reflects on our deep, essential connection with the natural world.
To preserve the animation’s organic, hand-made character, I built the soundtrack from sounds recorded directly in nature: forest ambience, wind, leaves, branches, and soft percussive hits on tree trunks. The musical palette was intentionally warm and intimate, limited to cello, ukulele, and light percussion, allowing the message of the piece to remain honest, gentle, and full of hope.

I am Celine Dion
The excerpt is the beginning of the film and the title page. Celine had a attack, right after that we see a dynamic sequence of shots from the car. I wanted to emphasize musically that it’s a bit blurry, we don’t know where we are, and what exactly is happening. The music keeps us in suspense. Starts with long strings and then evolves into a melodic theme played by a solo cello and then a bass clarinet, supported by a rhythmic interlocking pattern: piano, xylophone, harp, percussions.
The title music ends when we get to the house in Las Vegas, with a positive chord. Then we see a passage in which Celine is in her house. The music theme of the home played by strings is light and transparent, and at the same time warm and pleasant to emphasize what kind of atmosphere there is.
