Lara Simpson - “Eternal Flight” : London Recording Session

Lara Simpson M.M. ’23, a graduate student in Berklee Valencia’s scoring for film, television, and video games program, composed and recorded music for this piece, “Eternal Flight,” at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London as part of her culminating experience project.
“Eternal Flight” is a composition based on The Willow Pattern Story, a traditional Japanese fairytale. It will be the soundtrack to an original animation of the story, currently in progress.
"Once there was a wealthy Mandarin, who had a beautiful daughter (Koong-se). She had fallen in love with her father's humble assistant (Chang), angering her father. He built a high fence around his house to keep the lovers apart. The Mandarin was planning for his daughter to marry a powerful Duke. On the eve of the daughter's wedding to the Duke, Chang slipped into the palace unnoticed. The lovers escaped, they ran over a bridge, chased by the Mandarin. They eventually arrived to the safety of a secluded island, where they lived happily for years. But one day, the Duke learned of their refuge. Hungry for revenge, he sent soldiers, who captured the lovers and put them to death. The gods, moved by their plight, transformed the lovers into a pair of doves."
Every year, students in the scoring for film, television, and video games graduate program travel to a major, industry-leading, recording studio in the beginning of the summer semester to record a piece of original music performed by a 50-plus piece orchestra. After that, they receive a recording of the session, which students will mix and master to present as part of their CEs. Past trips have included sessions at the famed London studios, AIR Lyndhurst, and Abbey Road.
Composer: Lara Simpson
Recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios, London
