Sydney Levene 

BA [Hons] Creative Music Production

My name is Sydney Levene. I’ve been playing and listening to music since I was 7 years old. I've always had a heavy interest in musical scores for films and video games. I love to create and write music as well as create intricate sound synths. I love to play my piano and my bass guitar when I have free time.

Project Description

The project was to try and evoke the experience of dementia through musical composition and arrangement. A short documentary was used to implement these ideas. The short film itself has themes of dementia, and through listening to the score, those feelings of a bygone era and memory loss are highlighted in the score. Below are some of the examples of music evoking the experience of dementia.
