2001: A Space Odyssey Cue

Written as my final project during the film scoring intensive at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana during the summer of 2023. This cue, written to a scene from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, won the “best original score” prize, given to one piece at the culmination of the program. The scene shows the evolution of humanity from monkey-like proto humans to explorers of space. One pre human discovers tool-making in the act of beating another to death with a bone. As the bone, tossed into the air in triumph becomes an orbiting spacecraft, it's implied that progress comes at a cost. Thanks to the Orchestra Della Toscana for the performance, and Marco Streccioni, Gabriele Conti, Tim Starnes, and Mattia Cella for engineering/mixing assistance.
