A folkloric Croatian melody reimagined through violin for an international travel feature.
Commissioned by Condé Nast Traveller and produced by Matthew Buck, this project celebrated the peninsula of Istria in Croatia and highlighted its old town with medieval alleys, fishing harbours and Adriatic light.
In collaboration with singer-songwriter Josh Geffin, I composed and recorded a violin arrangement inspired by a traditional Croatian folk tune, shaping the melodic and textural language of the piece. The recording became an immersive creative exchange, responding to the striking visuals created by Owen Tozer and Jack Jones while establishing a distinct violin voice within the composition.
Within a concentrated recording session, I layered improvised lines and explored varied textures to create depth and movement, contributing to a sound world that felt both traditional and contemporary in tone.
The result is a piece in which the violin carries narrative and reveals how sound can deepen and shape visual storytelling.
