Works
Hi, this is my composition portfolio. I am Elias Cadalanu, and I have a long and academic background in music and the music industry. As a composer, the main asset I bring to the table is that, even at a young age, I already reached significant opportunities and found myself in situations with a great deal of responsibility. My first feature film composition (KÜSSE, DIE NACH MESSING SCHMECKEN) is ready for international release, and I have collaborated with major video production companies such as Enkime and Sinnflut.
Without further ado, please explore my compositions. They will say more about my work than this bio can. To listen to each piece, simply click on the image of the project you are interested in.
Skyblivion: The Elder Scrolls
This is my score that won the soundtrack contest organised by BIMM and Audio Creatures. The competition was held in collaboration with the creators of Skyblivion, who also served on the jury. The challenge consisted of composing music for one of their teaser trailers, and the prize included the opportunity to record the winning score with the Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg (see picture below).
The version you can listen to here is the original prize-winning piece, created with digital instruments. The orchestral recording is currently in the mixing stage and will be available soon!
Bloom (Soundtrack and foley)
For the short film Bloom, I composed both the soundtrack and the foley. It serves as a showcase of my skills in scoring animated media and in sound design. The project was especially rewarding, offering a valuable collaborative experience and giving me the opportunity to manage a team of musicians.
Kaan Kann Alles
Enkime and Sinnflut Produktion’s Kaan Kann Alles is a German YouTube series that is part of the Kann Content channel. Working on this project offered me the opportunity to compose the score and take on the role of head of music production for the series. It has been one of my most rewarding challenges, involving collaboration with a larger team and meeting higher expectations.
Race Car
Race Car is a short film by Isabela Pauwels and Johannes Klein for which I composed the music. The film was nominated for
Best Music Score at the TINFF and was also selected for the Berlin Short Film Festival.
KÜSSE, DIE NACH MESSING SCHMECKEN
KÜSSE, DIE NACH MESSING SCHMECKEN is still a work in progress. This jazz feature film is a project for which I am composing the entire score. At the moment, I am unable to share any material, as the team prefers to keep them private. The full movie score will be added to this portfolio once it becomes available. Working on this project has been, and continues to be, a highly fulfilling experience and a step above anything I’ve done before.
Behind the Music
Whether it’s film, games, or any creative project, I’m always excited to collaborate.
