Reworked: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

I remade the music for the scenes from "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" by Alexander Ekman.
The strangeness and mystery of this beautiful video inspired me to, through music, express the emotions I felt while watching it.
It was an interesting process that made me think of the boundless possibilities of art, the vast sources of inspiration and its freedom and openness to reinterpretation. Everything can be a source of inspiration. Alexander Ekman created this beautiful piece by drawing inspiration from a traditional Scandinavian summer solstice festival and with it inspired me to reinterpret it in my own way.
To those who don’t know about this wonderful original work I wish to let know it's worth checking out the full version.
