CINEMATIC MUSIC COMPOSER

She has studied in the International Film Music Mentorship program "Momentum" (Los Angeles). She has also produced and composed music for local and international collaborations and immersive sound art works.

 

Emilia is very much inspired by cinematic & epic sceneries when making music - you can often hear the sounds of piano and orchestration with clouds of pulsating, swirling harmonic elements & organic instruments, fused with electronic synths & percussions.
